I was getting this strange thing where I kept seeing things out of the corner of my eye. You know when you're just watching television or whatever, and you think you see something move, but when you look there's nothing there? Well, this was happening a lot and it was starting to bother me, so I mentioned it to my husband. He said that he thought it sounded like I had an astigmatism. For those of you that don't know what that is, it's a condition where your eyes are more rugby ball shaped than spherical. I don't know about any other affects of astigmatism, but it does sound a trifle uncomfortable if you ask me.
I was telling my friend at work about this a few months ago whilst we were at our desks, and I said I had made an appointment with an Optician to investigate John's theory about my potentially oddly shaped astigmatism-afflicted eyeballs. When I finished telling her this I was met with silence, so I looked up at her from my computer screen to see if she was listening or if I was rambling on to myself. My gaze was met with a half-confused, half-concerned look on her face.
"Astigmatism? Isn't that where you start bleeding from your hands and feet?" She asked.
Bless her.
