Hyperopia to Myopia - Eye Utopia
~Goodness.~
Hi guys. I'm tired of talking myself through my stack of notes, so I decided to ramble here:
(1) I just realised my spectacles is weird! Along the vertical axis, its thinner at the edges and thicker at the edges! And along the horizontal, its thicker at the edges and thinner at the centre! Wow. That means, I'm... astigmatic. Dang.
(2) So I tried to take off my specs, and I tried looking at my window frames, which had vertical and horizontal bars... and WOAH! I can't focus on both of them at once. How sad.
(3) But I'm overall myopic, because I'm using a darn diverging lens, which means that my eyes have a lens that is terribly good at refracting light. That means, I've been mugging/reading/watching tv/staring at my wallpaper/looking at someone in the eye too much, so that my ciliary muscles, in their utmost relaxed mode, can't lengthen my lens anymore. Hurhur. But that doesn't affect my near point!
(4) But then er... my near point is now lesser than 25 cm. That kinda sucks. That means in ten years time, or maybe twenty, I'll be hyperopic.
(5) So much for Singaporeans not being far-sighted, I think I might need to use a magnifying glass to read my Time magazines soon.
~Alright. I feel better indeed.~
