| Jamison,
I had a similar experience around the time I was DX'ed. In fact I have to thank my optician for sending me to the Doctor to be checked.
Over a period of about 3 weeks my sight was getting worse, then the thirst kicked in followed by pratically taking up residence in the bathroom. Anyhow went to Opto, she was surprised at the difference since she had checked me 6 months earlier and told me to get to the Doctor and be checked for Diabetes. Then when I started getting my BG under control my eyesight became incredible, my wife used to joke that if it improved any further I'd have x-ray vision. This perfect sight last about 4 weeks and slowly slipped back towards my original prescription even though my BG continued to improve. Anyhow I'm 4 months post DX, my vision is still slightly better than it was and I'm making an appointment to get eyes checked next week as I want to get new contacts and glasses.
