The Satisfaction of A Job Well Done
I was wondering if I was going to see it…
and ….there….it …..was…
A lovely glow of a satisfied smile from my optometrist. *
The optometrist was handling nothing dramatic like the Green Flash in the Tropics or the Northern Lights in Fairbanks. But she was wrestling with a hard problem: – keeping the steady visual lines of a prescription against the roiling ocean s of visual data. I am bobbing around so much with dystonia that I routinely sink below the “Zoom frame”. The prescription should also minimize double vision problems, a common problem among Parkies.(including me).

The Magic Trick - Life with Parkinson's 
Laura, it’s so nice to get a newsy bit from you. One hopes that in having “double vision” all the scenes are beautiful or fun. I heard that you’ll have an excursion to enjoy fall color in northeastern Washington — wonderful.
