Fun Fact Gleaned From My Ophthalmologist

Did you know that people with bad vision (like me) have larger eyeballs than people with good vision? Apparently the eyeball and all the other parts (nerves, retina, etc) get stretched out in people with poor vision--although they don't know whether bad vision causes the stretching or vice versa. More here.

Other than that, today's trip to the eye doctor was pretty terrible, what with worse vision, an increased risk of suffering a detached retina (just the sound of that sounds horrendous), and an outside shot at glaucoma...
