It was back in 2004 I think when I first started developing headaches. It was probably because I was spending too much time on the PC working on a new project. I was doing floor plans for rooms on MS Visio. 24 rooms with up to 6 configurations per room. That's 144 floor plans. After a few visits to Dr. Stephen the company doctor, he decided that I should see an eye specialist. So he referred me to Shukri & Hardeep at Jalan Ipoh.
Dr. Hardeep said that I had a peculiar problem. An old man's problem he said. I was developing long sightedness or hyperopia at my 'tender age' as he eloquently put it. Anyway, he wrote me a prescription for my glasses and advised me to wear them whenever my eyes felt tired. I thanked him and off I went. When I gave my prescription to the optician; Percy is his name if I recall correctly, he looked at me and asked are you sure? I just looked at him blankly wondering what he meant. "What do you mean?", I asked. He said it's probably a mistake coz it was not likely for a person at my age to require such glasses. He took another look at the prescription and noticed where it came from. "Oh! Dr. Hardeep! Ok, not likely to be a mistake then", he exclaimed. Percy went on to tell me that Dr. Hardeep was very good and that my case was rare.
Well, to cut a long story short it minimised my problems. The headaches went and I wore the glasses whenever my eyes felt tired which wasn't very frequent from then on. Over time, I started to notice that whenever something was popped up right in front of my face within about 8 inches, I had trouble focusing on it. Now, especially over the past one week my eyes have been very, very tired and I have not been in front of the PC much. If this keeps up, I might have to make a visit to Dr. Hardeep again.
But... my eyes are just as sharp for other things. No change in that... :p
