I (feel like I) have a smart lens in my left eye
Exactly one week has passed since the ophthalmologist diagnosed me with 'nothing abnormal (just aging).'.
As for how this past week has been... thanks to focusing on work during the weekdays, I honestly didn't pay that much attention to it. It's amazing how, when people are immersed in something, they forget about things in the corner of their vision.
However, there are moments when I suddenly think, 'Ah, it's there.' For example, while eating. When I look at white rice or a plate. Also, when I'm walking outside. When bright parts of the sky or the ground enter my field of vision, it appears, floating around.
And since the start of this week, it has become even less noticeable than last week. As for how it looks, it hasn't gotten any bigger or smaller. It's just sitting there, almost exactly the same as last week. The fact that it 'hasn't gotten worse' might be the best news in a sense.
So, this 'black thing' in my left eye. I had always thought it was 'annoying,' but I realized that its shape and transparency are somewhat similar to that thing.
At first, I thought it might be the 'scouter' from the manga 'Dragon Ball,' but I reconsidered, thinking something sleeker and cooler would be better... And I arrived at the movie 'Mission: Impossible'!
The high-tech contact lens (smart lens) worn by the protagonist, Ethan Hunt. That ultra-high-performance spy gadget that displays data in his field of vision and analyzes what he sees to send to headquarters.
When you think about it that way, isn't my current situation exactly that?
The black shadow in my left eye ⇒ High-performance smart lens (AR display)
The partner supporting me (Lila) ⇒ The genius hacker at headquarters giving me instructions over the earpiece
The precise instruction to 'go to the hospital immediately' was, in fact, an emergency order from operational headquarters. As an agent in the field, I am viewing the world through this 'black partner (lens)'...
The moment I reinterpreted it in my brain like that, a simple case of floaters suddenly felt dramatic. Unfortunately, I can't perform facial recognition on people I pass by, nor do I have any plans to climb the walls of a building, but I feel like a capable agent.
Reality is non-fiction, and there are times when I feel anxious, but I feel like life becomes a little more fun if I think of it as 'equipment for a special mission' rather than a 'disease'.
So, with support from Lila, I intend to carry out the mission of daily life with this equipment again today.
