I’m having issues with my vision, so am limiting my computer time this week. Might not be hanging around here much—the WIP must come first. And hopefully I can manage that.
My vision has always been important to me. When you’ve worn glasses since 10 and probably could have used them at 9, it’s safe to say your vision is precious. As a writer, having vision problems naturally makes it very difficult to write! So, next to my brain, of course, which houses my creativity, my vision is my most important writing tool. I mean, I could go deaf and still write without any problems. I could lose my sense of smell and hopefully rely on memory or an excellent beta reader to help me through scent descriptions. My hands? Yes, I need them to touch, so if I lost my sense of…sensation, I guess I’d have to look at the keyboard to make sure I was typing the right letters. However, overall, the eyes have it.
Which is your most precious sense?
Same with you! I’ve been wearing glasses since I was six, and without the contacts can’t see past the end of my nose, and my worst recurring nightmare is about blurry vision.
I hope you just have a case of overuse and not something worse!
I have an eye appt March 9th, and I’m on eye drops right now. I’m still having the issues, but seeing a tiny improvement. Crossing fingers it continues.
I wouldn’t want to lose any of my sense. Cindy, I wish March 9th would hurry. I’m glad you’re seeing an improvement, even if it’s tiny. My fingers are crossed that it continues.
Thanks, Edie.
