I personally know how frustrating it can be to have an issue with your eyes. I developed double vision (diplopia) somewhere along the past 5 years and vision has been a huge problem for me. Luckily it only happens beyond 5 feet so I can still use a computer for work. Driving on the other hand sucks! So much for an intelligently designed eye!?!?

Early this year, I had to take three days off work to recover from awful eyestrain. A trip to the eyewear-store-disguised-as-optometrist-office later, I came away with a ridiculously strong prescription. Up until my "severe eyestrain bout," I had perfect (or so I thought) vision.

But whether you get it paid for or not, it's important to get it done regularly in our line of work.

Find out what your employer's policy is and take advantage.
