optometry

[da]

I'm a research subject today. Optometry is doing a study on eye-strain, and melted_snowball and I volunteered.

If I don't come back from lunch, I've been eaten by the optometrists.

Yay! I didn't not come back either. As a matter of fact, I got this after I got back. I qualified too, apparently. This will be my first new set of glasses in about 7-8 years. I had to get the eye exam too. Did they squish your eyeball? Mine's still a bit sore from that, I think.

I have to cough up about $40 for my frames, cos I wanted the magnetic sunglass thingies. I forgot to ask them about antireflective coatings, but I emailed her and we'll see.

Yes. They squished my eyeball, but it was much more gentle than I expected. I didn't even feel any pressure. The doc called me gun-shy for blinking when he tried putting in the drops. ;)

I would've loved magnetic sunglasses, but I didn't like those frames. Guess I'm due for slightly more expensive custom sunglasses again. But my budget can afford it, since the glasses themselves are free. (woo!)

I wasn't too sure, but she said they looked better, and since I can't see without my glasses, I took her word for it - guess I'll find out when Linda first sees them. :-)

I found out that the antireflective coating is included anyway.
