Day 10

When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. A quote made famous by author and philosopher Dr. Wayne Dyer. Perspective is a powerful tool we sometimes overlook.

I'm nearsighted. So much, that sometimes I find it hard to find my glasses when they're resting on the night stand next to my bed.

I went to the optometrist today to check on my new contacts and order a 6-month supply. While I waited in the exam room I saw what everyone sees while waiting for an eye exam... a refractor, letters on a wall and a poster about eye health sponsored by some pharmaceutical company.

I love the refractor, its the key to happiness... Am I more blind than last year? Can my eyes compete and read those letters on line 7?

We usually view this machine face on, so I shot this photo from above. Something so routinely identifiable, is now a mechanical enigma. Perspective makes a difference.
