beccaelizabethI went to the opticians.
My employee was more than 7 minutes late; I left at 7 minutes late because that was the last minute I could walk there by myself. She caught up when I was just getting there. So that worked out, sort of.
Eye tests involve people touching your face and being RIGHT UP CLOSE with their shiny thing which also makes the veins in your eyes reflect or something it's a very weird effect and then there's an eye patch and a video game where I got 100% on spotting the lights but honestly I think I got 100% on predicting the pattern and clicking at the right intervals, I'm not sure I saw all the lights precisely, but probably, maybe, near enough.
There was supposed to be something with air puffs? They warned me and then there wasn't any air puffs.
My prescription said it hasn't changed but one of the numbers is different so they have a different definition of haven't changed than I do. It used to be -0.75 and now it is -1.00. But the glasses I actually wear are from the piece of paper before that and there's more numbers different from that. The glasses from 2010 didn't suit, I didn't think I could see as well when I wore them, they were annoying.
The optician lady was not annoying. We talked about Doctor Who a lot. :-)
I looked at some frames for new glasses but apparently my voucher is for £39 and that's like half price lenses and then there's frames and all in all the ones they showed me would cost me £150. Which seems like quite a lot? I haven't bought new glasses for some years though.
They've sent off for those frames in a different color, and I can decide when I see the new color.
Glasses are good. I don't like the thing where I take my glasses off and look at the eye chart and they're all "Can you read any of that?" And I'm like "... there's probably letters on it?"
Seeing is a good thing.
It would be nice if it was simpler and didn't involve staring and tests and having to choose expensive metal and lens thingies to wear every day and all the time. But if I wasn't wearing my glasses I'd poke myself in the eye all the time trying to push my glasses up so *shrugs*
