mysterious

Saturday, April 28, 2007
I *think* I know now what's the main cause of my frequent inexplicable bouts of nausea, headache and fatigue. I went to the optometrist to stock up my contact lenses to bring over to the UK (Aggy says it's real expensive over there) and since I haven't had my eyes checked for the past two years, I thought I should.

Good thing I did. My power actually went down. How something like that happens, I have no idea. Maybe hyperopia is showing some early-stage symptoms? Tumour? Dammit I've gotta stop being so grey. Point is, I've been wearing the wrong shit for so long it's amazing my eyes and brains haven't given up on me.

I should probably get new glasses too now that the power's different. Yes that's a paper clip in my hair. If only I wasn't so broke, dammit!

Some people lose the power as they get older. Usually it means that it'll keep going that way, and they may end up being far-sighted when they were near-sighted, or vice-versa.

One thing that may be causing your headaches are strong reflections in your glasses (much like in the picture). If you get an anti-reflective coating on the lenses, it may reduce glare and relax your eyes. I can tell you don't have this coating (unless it wore out after a couple years) because of how strong the reflected lights are in the picture.

Nausea may be caused by the curvature of the frames. If looking for new frames, try to get ones that don't distort the sides so much (although your current ones look rather straight to me).
