Journal: Eye Exam

Me after my wonderous and splendid eye exam.

I had an eye exam today. If there are any typos, it is because right now I have become far-sighted due to the dilation solution they put into my eyes! It was interesting and apparently I hadn't had a proper eye exam in forever. Perhaps I never had one in the first place but I've done eye chart stuff before... although I do not remember having to put solutions in my eyes so maybe it truly is my first time. 

First thing I had to do was look into a little tube and look at a weird photo. Looked like a path on a hill with a weird exploding firework symbol in the middle. It was like instead of the hot air balloon or little red house you normally see it was something else. Weird. That's one of the few things I know they do in eye exams anyway. 

Later they put eye drops into my eyes that'd dilate them and stuff. It felt incredibly weird. The first ones stung and I had to blink a bunch to get the stinging sensation away and immediately it was like my eyes were morphing or something. My eyelids felt heavy and it made my eyeballs feel like huge cartoonish globes. Which was nice but also a bit scary. We then had to wait for a while which made me feel super antsy and I was kicking my feet and shit. 

Afterwards they told me I have an astigmatism. Damn! But thankfully after other inspections, nothing else was out of the ordinary. I could read that little eye chart perfectly. We decided afterwards that even though nothing really was wrong that it would probably be wise to get some glasses for whenever I'm looking at a computer since I'm someone that stares at screens a lot because of my hobbies and interests. I got some food after and now I'm at home writing this.

Anyway, I'm going to look up eye exam memes and laugh really hard.

This shit sucks, nevermind.
