(Yes, OMG, look who just reappeared on LJ after, what, almost a year?)
Broken glasses? Ick. Decent vision plan. Cool. :) I used to have one, when I was teaching. Now only the eye exam is covered, under my medical. Ended up getting my latest pair at Costco(!) of all things.
My prescription has changed a lot over the past seven years: five improvements. :p Probably because that's when I started treating my sleep apnea, so I'm not tired all the time. My eyes are back to the way around the end of uni...I'm starting to have to take the glasses off to read or work at the computer again, because I'm overfocusing up close. :)
Dry eyes? Lessee...my blink rate is less frequent than human normal, my mother and I both have faulty tear ducts, I sleep with my eyes partway open, and my CPAP mask slips sometimes and leaks into my eyes. I've been keeping bottles of artificial tears handy for something like 25 years now. My biggest problem has always been remembering to put them in before my eyes shrivel up.
