It seems I will never get an exact diagnosis, and I figure I really don*t need one. When my eyes are blurry, I don*t drive. When they are clear, I do. The blurriness comes and goes with bright light, the barometer, hydration, sleepiness, and stress, to name a few things. I pay better attention these days, cut myself some slack, and know better and better what is important. Older eyes, that*s it. Doctors don*t have everything figured out.
The specialists never did figure out
Why my eyes go blurry
From time to time.
The retina guy
Said it must be the optic nerve.
The optic nerve guy
Said it was the retina.
The neurologist says
It is migrainous activity.
I have decided
The correct diagnosis is
Older eyes.
Now I focus on different things.
Bright light makes me squint.
I cannot read and lead worship
At the same time.
Certain things
Are more clear
Than they have ever been.
Older eyes
Help me claim back
What has been mine
From the beginning.
