How ironic

I went to the opticians today because I have been getting headaches if I use the computer for an extended period of time (like every evening) and I wondered if my eyes had changed since my last exam.

We went through all the normal tests and if anything, things had improved and there is definitely no need for a prescription. We talked about when the headachs come and what they feel like and the optician suggested it may be light sensitivity.

We did some simple tests, to see how I was most comfortable with reading small texts and dim light was more comfortable than bright. I tried different coloured overlays and picked a lovely aqua colour as the most comfortable.

I have also downloaded a free programme that tints the background you are working on, so while I am writing a lesson plan or a document I can have the background a comfortable blue rather than a glaring white.

It is irinic because Abi went through all this last year and has tinited glasses. It never occured to me that I was getting headaches for the same reason!

Like mother like daughter!!!

Or in this case, like daughter like mother! I'm glad you've gotten to the bottom of things.
