A Dork Is Born

For the past two or three years my distance vision has been deteriorating, but amazingly enough I couldn't really tell until the past couple of months.
Because I work from home and never drive out of my vecinities, I got used getting around with no problems. Then recently on a trip to San Diego I realized that I couldn't drive because I didn't have any landmarks as points of reference to get to places. I could only read the freeway signs as we were passing them, not before.
Today, I went to the eye doctor and was told that not only do I need glasses because I couldn't read the top two rows of letters, but that I have to go to a specialist because I have large muscles in my eyes. Those large muscles are indicators that I may have or will have glaucoma in the future. Am i worried? a little.
I will look like a dork wearing glasses, but it will be fun to be able to see again. Who knows, maybe I will look smart.
