The red circles, or the green circles?
Hello. Yesterday I did go for an eye test. I was mildly bemused at how wrong they (Dollond & Aitchison) could get my details, name and date-of-birth, despite me providing all that information over the internet, but hey . . . A young lady called Rachel did my eye test and, whilst I've had one eye test before, it still freaks me out how close the, erm, eye-tester (optometrist?) must get in order to carry out their checks to the backs of the eyes. My eyes were largely all okay, with the recommendation for glasses essentially for night-time driving and attending the theatre. Theatre? I think she meant cinema. Well, whatever. -0.75, -0.25, 170 in the right eye (SPH, CYL and AXIS respectively) and -0.50, -0.75 and 80 in the left. I've no idea what any of it means (actually, I do now, having read the information provided in the web-site given above). Slightly short-sighted. I've also no idea why I've given you those numbers. It's not like people were going, "Gosh, I would love to get Jonath some spectacles for general use, but I just don't know his eye-ball measurements. Sigh. If only . . . "
