Macular Degeneration

I don't like how all of this time spent staring at a book or a computer screen is killing my vision. Not that I'm getting reading headaches - it's my far vision. I first noticed somewhere around my third semester that the distant crystal clarity I'd enjoyed for all of my life was just a touch out of focus - so, after studying for a while, I'd sit on my balcony and stare down the cow trail towards campus, forcing myself to pick out the most distant object my lenses could resolve. There's less time to do that now, but at least I can come home from the kaplan center and stare from the balcony into the downtown Miami.
