An eye check-up, finally.

For more than a month of delay, I finally went to see an eye doctor today. As in the usual clinic set-up, the doctor was not yet there (you know, doctors don't really stick to their schedules). But that's ok. I was able to buy another Sudoku book in a friendly bookstore fronting the clinic. I got back 30 minutes after I had my name listed, finally the doctor came in. He was an hour and a half late. I was 6th on the list.
After 45 minutes of waiting, I finally got my turn. As it turned out, I'm going to be blind in a couple of months. Goodbye everyone. Might as well spend as much time awake with all of you. Kidding. I won't be blind. I just had a virus in the eye which caused the redness, frequent itching and sore. And it's not sore eyes. Thus, it's under medication for a week--patak dito at patak doon 3 times a day for a week. I have yet to see the doctor again in a week. And no contacts lenses for me too (until the doctor says so). So I'll be in nerd mode again for a week!
That's an update a lot of people have been eagerly waiting for. Thank you for all those concerned. At least it's not something so bad which would warrant me leaving school, right? Whew.
Oh by the way, the doctor will also run tests to me if I'll be a candidate for Lasik. That I am looking forward to.
