Alright, sometimes I have been chided because my blog doesn't contain enough stuff about me. Well, I am fixing that right now! I went to the eye doctor today because my left eye has been a little blurry and I seem to remember that it has been a long while since I had my eyes checked. Turns out it has been four years since my last checkup... my how time flies - haha.

Anyway, my left eye has been blurry because when I lost a contact a while back, I put an old one in. Turns out not only was it an old prescription (like 10 years) but it was for the other eye and thus didn't fit real well. I have rigid gas-permeable lenses which are created to match the shape of my cornea so that they don't slide out. Well, this one not fitting real well has caused some scratching of the cornea, and the blur has been a pain in the backside. Dr. Soli informed me that the cornea will repair itself once I start using a better-fitting lense.

Part of the new test that is performed (well, new to me anyway) is a photo of the retina where they check for things like macular degeneration, diabetic degeneration etc. The good news is that he gave my eyes a clean bill of health and in fact, says they were in exceptional shape. Attached is a picture of one of them - cool, huh?



The white spot in the upper right is the optic nerve. An unhealthy eye would show blotches of white in the center, lesions or irregular blood vessels. There, no one can say this blog wasn't about me! It even included a picture from INSIDE!

In other news, BigDog Radio is back on the air. Right now, I am doing a Tuesday night show (8PM CST) that focuses on USANA. Hopefully, someday I can get more caught up on things and do more frequent shows, but I wanted to make sure I didn't commit to more than I could deliver. One show a week for now. (By the way, that link is to the show itself and will NOT work unless I am broadcasting.)
