Whee, eyes.
Got the eye exam. My eyes are healthy and my prescription has only changed a very little bit in four years. Yay. And the doctor actually had some useful suggestions for the dry eye problems. Also yay. And I found some cute new frames. Further yay. And my company has a good vision plan, and I have a flexible spending account that will cover the extra bits (antireflective/scratch-resistant/UV-protecting coating, for instance, and the exam copay). Yet more yay.
Not so yay: it'll be a week or so to get the new glasses, and they weren't going to be able to do anything about my broken ones without ordering a part, which will take just as long as getting the new glasses. I did manage to re-tape the broken bit in such a way that it seems to be staying put better, so perhaps they won't drive me quite as nuts as they have been the past two days. But I will very much be looking forward to my new ones!

My eye doc recommended a different sort of OTC drops for me. The brand name is "Soothe." They're basically mineral oil, of all things, along with lubricants. They purportedly help restore the lipid layer that keeps the tears in, so they don't evaporate as fast.
He also had me get some omega-3 supplements. Apparently those can help too.

Omega-3? Hmm, hadn't thought of that.
