12.4.10

I had my annual eye exam this week. For the second year in a row, my vision has improved! While I like my lower prescription, there was some bad news. After years of contact lens wearing, my eyes are starting to dry out more. In fact, for the second time in a month my eye has dried out to the point of becoming red, which my doctor says is inflammation of the eye. So I was instructed to wear my glasses and put in some eye drops.

I learned there are a couple of things that haven't helped my eyes in the past month. First, running 13.1 miles in pouring rain. Water actually dries out the eye, so after the race not only was I wet, but my eye was really red. Second, tears are no good. So between running in the rain and crying, I would say the former is easier to avoid :)
