Mix of news, but first a TLDR: Won't be able to do shows tomorrow because my eyes need a full day off (no screens/bright lights/intensity). Good news is my optometrist rules and I'm feelin good!
Lets kick the thread off by praising my amazing optometrist. The doc literally saw me three days in a row, didn't charge me at all, and even stayed an extra 90 minutes past close one day to help figure out what's going on. Truly one of the best medical experiences of my life.
The long and short of the trips is that we FINALLY found my correct prescription. It took a really long time to figure out due to some oddities -- my right cornea has a wobbly surface, my eyes takes a while to focus sometimes, also I have something called Esophoria
The esophoria bit seems to be a relevant component to my "eye strainy" feeling. My eyes have to do a bit of extra work anyways just to focus on a single object. I've probably had it for a while but never noticed since it didn't strain enough
However, in the last few weeks, I've been working and streaming a LOT. Under bright lights. Playing games that have a LOT of very very tiny text (Yu-Gi-Oh, Project Zomboid, MTGA, etc). I've been staring at bright white google docs and e-mails for unusually long hours.
And, lets not forget, I was doing all that with my older, wrong prescription! My poor baby eyes.
Already, with the new prescription, I'm not feeling as much additional strain, but yeesh are my eyeballs tired.

On one hand, I'm pleased to finally get some answers as to wtf is going on. On the other, I've basically spent the full week at the optometrist, missing out on a new MTGA set launch (set launches are always HUGE for our channel so.... crap).
It stings a bit, but obviously the faaaaar and away best thing to do is to take care of my eyeballs. I use them in all my hobbies after all.
Tomorrow will now be an excellent day where Cece will get the longest park walk of all time and, after, we'll nap quietly in the dark :).

I hope you all have a great weekend and I hope to see you next week when my eyes are (fingers crossed) feeling good so we can have a much needed week of MTG!!
Also, Neon Dynasty is my favorite MTG art in a looooong time so I cannot WAIT to play hahahah.
