Taking Care of My Eyes

Proofreading is a major part of my job as a QA and having a 20/20 eye vision makes everything so much easier. A few years back, it was effortless for me to spot spelling errors, incorrect font styles, overlapping text, etc. Then, I began to notice some blurred vision last September, 2008. Suddenly, I started to miss errors in quality checking which was so embarassing! I knew I couldn’t continue on doubting my work and that I needed to find a remedy to correct my deteriorating sight.

I immediately visited an optometrist and was disappointed to know that my eye vision had become 20/25. The eye doctor said there is really nothing to worry about and that things are quite as sharp as they are for a person with 20/20 vision. However, she recommended a very mild prescription as it could get worse with age and time especially with the kind of work that I have. I check volumes and volumes of articles everyday and if I want to stay in this job, I have to take care of my eyes.
