The Eye

I woke up each day hunting for the pair of specs that I left somewhere the previous night. If I was a little more sane back then, I would still be enjoying the leisure of having my world crystal clear. When I was younger, I thought wearing specs is cool and so I deliberately spoilt my eyes.

As expected, I was diagnoised with myopia during a regular school health check and my childhood dream came true! Since then, spectacle followed me around like a haunting ghost. It has been more then a decade now.

This afternoon, I went for an eye screening held in campus. Besides those regular machines we have seen in all optical shops, there was one which measure the eye pressure. There was a blowhole which aims at the eye and shoot some air against it, and then it somehow calculate the pressure. For the result, my eyeballs seem to have stop deforming, so can I finally settle down with a pair of nicer spec? Mummy please.... But, the eye pressure in my left eye is slightly higher. According to the optician, high pressure in the eye is hereditary and is caused by having more vitreous humor in the eye. It would be dangerous if the pressure is too high bcos the eyeball will press against the optic nerves and cause visual problems.
Since my left eye has more vitreous humor, am I a little more humorous on the left side?

Ok, time to do my tutorials!!!
