My baby pictures are hilarious, because I am cross-eyed in all of them. As I grew up, the problem "corrected itself," and my eyes only started to cross if I was very tired or drunk.
Lately the problem has been worsening, so I saw my eye doctor about it. He said that the problem is called strabismus, and that it never really went away. Over the years, I just got used to working around eyes that didn't quite point the same direction. He highly recommended that I go and have a consultation with an opthamologist he knows to see about correcting the problem.
For the purposes of this story, let's call the opthamologist "Dr. Brash." Because he was. In the continuing sitcom of my life, this was one of the more unbelievable chapters.
( Read all about it... )
So now I don't know quite what to do. My regular eye doctor does think that Dr. Brash is the best person to do this surgery, and Dr. Brash certainly agrees. On the one hand, I am not a medical professional, and it makes sense to go with the doctors' opinions. On the other hand, this doctor is an asshole. And on the third hand, even if I did want to have the surgery, odds are I can't afford it anyway.
I don't really have a question. I just wanted to write this all down while it was still fresh in my mind. Any thoughts?
