Things I Learned At the Optometrist
Jan. 31st, 2007 03:08 am(Boy... I may have to start a separate journal just so scans_daily lets go of my friends page. Some of the stuff on that comm is fun, but Jeezis. This I learned this morning, not at the optometrist.)
Getting your eyes dilated can make the urge to read extremely acute.
For some psycho-sexual reason I decline to examine further, I really prefer dealing with female doctors.
When you're having your eyes examined, and the doctor is telling you things like "look at my finger... now look to your left", it can start to sound like a cheesy attempt at hypnosis from an old movie.
No matter how much I believe my optometrist is not about to poke me in the eye, I always flinch away. I am a "squeezer"- I reflexively squeeze my eyes shut really, really tight when something is going in them. Which can be a pain in the ass with eye drops, for example.
Not having insurance is bad, but could be a lot worse.
