Pain in the eyes.

One of the things I’ve learnt this last week is I need to start giving my eyes a rest. From a screen, the light, the sun… Just give them a break sometimes.
Went out the other day with my sunglasses on and the eye pain started while I was out. Doesn’t usually happen with sunglasses on. So, this needs investigating. If anyone has any ideas please message me. Anti-glare, anti-sun, anti-blumming light, anti-blue light. 100% protection.
It’s getting ridiculous.
2 days later my eyes still hurt. They are better than they were though.
It stopped me going out and doing the garden as I just don’t want the pain to be worse.
So instead of doing the usual and going out there and doing it regardless of the consequences, I didn’t.
The other thing is…
My reading glasses are so blumming strong that when I went out I was finding it hard to see properly. So although now they are helping me more reading wise. They are buggering up, when they are off.

So I will have to make sure I take them off well before I go out again. To do an experiment.
So much so that browsing in a shop seemed pointless and hardwork.
The main reason being, now we aren’t supposed to pick items up in shops, because of the Covid, it’s sometimes impossible to tell what they are.
I relied on picking some stuff up, to see. Sometimes as soon as you pick it up you know by touching what it is.
As in, somethings don’t seem what they are. However long you stare at them. Like the squashy sewing kit that I thought was a mug. So as soon as you pick it up you sort of go… ‘ah…’

So we will see what happens.
