I had an eye exam this week. Time for new glasses. I used to have to wear them to drive when my TOS first started acting up, in 1995. (didn't know about tos back then) But my vision got BETTER after a few years so I stopped wearing them.

Anyhow, at my eye exam the Optometrist didn't believe that my vision got better. But after the exam he was surprised that while I did need both distance and close-up correction, my new scrip was far weaker than the old, original scrip. My eyes DID get better!

He said that the eyes, lungs and liver are the only organs in the body that can get better!

I never knew that! Great news for me as my lungs have worried me ever since the lung episode I had with the right rib resection.

I can't help but wonder tho, why has my distance vision worsened? I know the close-up vision is supposed to go at 40-43. Dr said mine lasted a couple years longer than most folks, so that's good! My TOS seems to be more aggrivated (winter? scar tissue?) could that be pressing on an optic nerve? Could it be the muscle relaxers messing w/my vision?

Or maybe I'm just getting... o-l-d.
