The Vision Thang

Today's vision inventory: RantWoman has recently developed the kind of streaks one gets from poorly washed windows in one eye. For awhile RantWoman assumed this is just dirty glasses. However, weeks of obsessive glasses-washing, while peculiarly resonant with the current plague-related paeans to hand-washing, were doing no good about the streaks. Then somewhere in here, RantWoman realized she was not looking through her glasses and therefore the problem must be within her eyes.

Today RantWoman had to visit her cathedral of eye care. More new staff made RantWoman reflect on a dilemma: one wants people who do a good job to get well-rewarded and to get deserved recognition and promotion commensurate with their distinctions. However, one does not mind seeing familiar faces, especially if one is kind of a frequent flyer.

Furthermore, one's eyeballs are quite personal. RantWoman at least is not just going to gush about new symptoms to every pretty face who asks. Unfortunately, the streaky thing is quite aggravating. Despite RantWoman's very limited positive experiences with mind-altering substances, the idea of ESCAPE holds great appeal, and RantWoman spoke up.

RantWoman had to make clear the issue is not haloes. Haloes are fine all over Christian iconography but are not a good thing in the realm of eye issues. No, it's streaks like badly-cleaned windows. Eye physician suggests it relates to something RantWoman is tapering off of anyway. RantWoman REALLY hope so, especially since she is also vexed with new wrinkles in the realms of multiple vision though mercifully not multiple visions.
