I visited my Optomitrist on Friday, and I learned while there that it would be my last appointment with him as he’s retiring in a few months. Looking back in his file on me, we saw my first visit with him was in September 1989 when I was 24 years old. I can still remember the day on the streets of Washington, DC, when I realized I couldn’t read the street sign on the other side of the street and I figured I’d better go see an eye doctor. I’ve been through a bunch of glasses and a few contacts as well in the 18 years since. And now that I’ve got astigmatism in both eyes to go with my near-sightedness, my new pair will be… bi-focals! And over those years, Dr. Murray also put my wife and two of our kids in glasses. Thank-you Dr. Murray, and enjoy your retirement.
