Can You See at All?

A couple days ago, I went to urgent care for a sinus infection.

After I explained why I thought I had a sinus infection and described my symptoms, the doctor asked, "Can you see at all?"

I was confused because I hadn't said anything about my eyesight.

I said, "My eyes are fine. I think I have a sinus infection." I was thinking, problems seeing are not common with sinus infections, right?

The doctor said again, "You can see?"

Then he gestured towards Isaac.

Mind you, I was sitting there reading a book (print, not Braille) when he entered the exam room.

My friend Peggy says she is glad to hear that sinus infections do not in fact cause blindness.
