Astigmatism -> could it become worse after 4 months

Astigmatism -> could it become worse after 4 months?
4 months ago i went to an ophthalmologist and she told me i was starting to develop astigmatism. It was really few, it's like, i have 0.75 in my left eye and my right eye is perfect. She told me if i had no headaches i had nothing to worry about. But 2 months ago i got a job where i have to work 8 to 10 hours per day in front of a computer and i find it hard to focus my sight whilst working on little details, which is what i do all the time! Surely i have to wear glasses, even if it's only for working. well.. now the other question is: i don't want to spend 70 euros to go to an ophthalmologist again, neither have to wait 1 month to get an appointment in public health system (it's how things work in Portugal, unfortunately). So, i want to go to a store and make a free sight test, as some places do. The thing is, some people say they aren't such accurate, and my father was a case who confirms that. i have the examination results, so i can compare. but it was 4 months ago. Could it get worse after that time? oh and i forgot to mention, my eyes kinda hurt in the end of every day.

im not sure about it getting worse, but im pretty sure you should be wearing glasses, i know tonnes of people who have this condition and it means that one of their eyes moves in and doesnt focus well, so they need glasses to correct it. i would get your eye test done at a store, compare it to your current test...its free you say, so you haent got anythign to lose, if its pretty similar then you will know, and if they are simiar you can get your own glasses arranged online. i cant afford glasses from the opticians, so i get mine online for a quarter of the price, if not more, and they are just fine:)

Did the doctor give you glasses? You should have gotten a prescription even for a slight astigmatism. I have actually the same situation after I had my baby 4 months ago and I was given prescription eyeglasses even if it was only for reading. I was told to wear them at the computer as well because I was getting headaches because of my eye sight. So you need to get glasses.

get them to say it again and record it somehow. report them
2 :
Loco si yo fuera usted. If I were you I would have given him a platano smack. But without any violence, check with your work place and ask if there was any video cameras around that probably recorded it. If he doesn't stop then report him. Remember theres always that platano.
3 :
Relax and forget it: it's not worth the hassle. BTW that's Spanish and Portuguese.
4 :
You should report it to human resources and or someone who is in higher authority than that person who called you that! That is harassment and it should be taken seriously and dealt with right. Sorry to hear that other people are rude and don't respect you at your place of work. Good luck honestly.
5 :
I agree, try to get them on tape or if at all possible, video. If not, just report them and try to find some witnesses before you report it, otherwise you might be made to look like a fool because everyone will back the other guy, in which case you really should have him on tape to prove it. Ah, yeah, definitely get to talking to someone in high authority, not just the supervisor or wherever you work, unless you know for sure they're willing to take it up to executives. Because most people will just brush it off and say "that's life" and it could keep happening. Bullying in the workplace where I live is taken very seriously, after a teenage girl committed suicide after about a year and a half of verbal, physical, mental and emotional abuse at her workplace. It was horrible to hear about, let alone experience.

Tell them to go report themselves to their superior. Record their response.

All drugs should be illegal...including asprin.

Making drugs legal isn't going to make a drug addict quit. Therapy (rehab) is used in place of prison sentences in America for some people caught with drugs, but most of the time the drug addiction is too strong to be "cured" this way. The best way to deal with the drug epidemic is through prevention and decriminalizing drugs is not going to do that at all.

NO!
5 :
No You can't tax decriminalized drugs. You can tax legalized drugs.

Al drugs must have an prescription or otherwise it must be illegal
