The first sting was no big thing. The only weird thing was my vision got blurry for two days, then went all 20/20 for the next 30 days.

Didn't figure it out until after the wasp sting the next year. More of a reaction at the sting, and same vision thing. Remembered the blurry vision after the sting a year earlier, then the 20/20 because I had to dig up the non-prescription sunglass I had gotten.

Third time, another year later, my whole arm turned red and the same vision thing. Went to doctor and neither MD or OD had any idea about the vision thing. That's when Doc recommended I carry a sting kit. Changed eye docs because he changed my prescription to the blurry vision even though i told him it would clear up and go 20/20, then had no idea and just said you don't need glasses when I went back and tested 20/20. Didn't even bother to go back when my eye went back to what they were and my regular glasses worked fine.

The fourth time I got stung in the top of the head. Almost no bite site reaction, I'm guessing because there isn't much flesh there to react. Same vision thing though. My current OD said my sinuses and tissue in my eye sockets were probably swelling as a allergic reaction causing a change in the shape of my eye socket. And that it was rare for the eye tissue to be involved. He didn't know why they went 20/20.

I sure like the OD I had when fresh out of college. He was an old guy. When he noticed my yellow tinted glasses he asked if it made everything yellow. I said no, and that it helped in low or bright light when the B/W receptors do most of the work. He gave me a color blindness test with and without my glasses, then a b/w test with and without. Colors were the same, Went much farther into seeing difference in grays with the yellow glasses on. He thought it was cool and made the comment the he likes to learn new things. Wonder what he would have done if he hadn't retired before my wasp experience.
