I paid a visit to my optometrist Dr. Robert Wayne recently. Feeling embarrassed, I asked when I was last in to see him knowing it had been years and that he could tell by the condition of my glasses. Leslie - wife and office manager, (is that the correct title?) said it had been ten years. Couldn't believe I was still in their records and the details the doc remembered about me personally. He was right, I had been putting off this visit until I could afford a quick trip over from Seattle to see him and get new glasses. You see I first saw Dr. Wayne when in my twenties and he correctly diagnosed me with a condition which causes me to see everything in a kind of misaligned double vision. Of course my parents always saw to it that my glasses were up to date, but previous docs had somehow missed this. Dr. Wayne put a prism in my glasses at that time which changed everything for me. Vision didn't hurt anymore. For the first time I could read more than two pages without becoming exhausted. I started to enjoy reading instead of avoiding it and that changed my life in ways I had never imagined. My new glasses also have a prism and are progressive bifocals as well. Learning by reading instead of memorization is a privilege I'm so grateful for and I never take it for granted. Reading is like a delicious desert at the end of a great meal. Today there is better technology which allowed Dr. Wayne to take a baseline picture of my retina which revealed that my eyes are very healthy and we discussed preventing eye diseases using natural supplements - an approach I've used for the rest of my organs over many years. I'm a cancer survivor from the age of fourteen and I just turned 46. As I said to Dr. Wayne, I've learned over the years to be very particular about doctors. Only the best for me, thank you. Nicer, more competent people you will not find. They are the real deal. You'll love meeting them even if you've been putting it off for awhile. read more
