today was a big day for me as i received new eye glasses and had my first vision therapy session. it went very well and i'm feeling hopeful that i will be able to strengthen my eyes and perhaps not need such a strong eyeglass prescription. however, it will take time and discipline on my part to do the exercises regularly!
i was lost in thought on the walk home and then looked up to see this sweet pair.
dinner was simple: delicious egg salad with pickles and curry on einkorn bread (greg had a baguette) and steamed fresh summer zucchini (and leftover french fries from sunday's dinner with kathy and warren).
afterwards, i had fun watching a little of serena's match against ajla tomljanovic with greg.
I hope your eye exercises are going really well
ReplyDeleteI have been “ visiting “ New York via the US Open most days . Serena just thrilling to watch - I have never made it to the Open but saw her play several times at Wimbledon- she transformed women’s sport and tennis in particular. I will miss her

How wonderful to have seen her at Wimbledon!
DeleteWhat do you have to do for the vision therapy? What is it supposed to help with? I hope it will be beneficial. Veronika had vision therapy for a while for a lazy eye. It really helped.
ReplyDeleteI think it's a little similar to lazy eye. I need to help both eyes to work together properly. I have a print out of letters to read without moving both eyes so they have to work together with just peripheral vision, and also individual exercises tracking a pencil in my hand or just my thumb . . one eye at a time without moving my head. I'm glad to hear it helped Veronika.
DeleteVeronika had a string with a wooden pearl. Peter had to move the pearl slowly towards her eyes and she had to concentrate on the pearl. There was a verse they were saying with it.
DeleteAh! Yes, that is similar to what I do with a pen! My eyes are older and more stubborn and have been doing things wrong for too long. (sigh) . . I'll keep trying though . . still . .
DeleteWell, it will probably help a bit at least. Is there a follow-up plan in case the therapy does not help?
DeleteI think the back up plan is just to have a stronger eyeglass prescription.
DeleteOh, that would not be too bad. I thought you would need surgery if it did not work!
