Corpse Run 773: Eye scream
Kind of a truncated strip today.
I had an eye doctor checkup thing last night which included the wonderful eye drops that dilate your pupils.
Anyone who knows me knows that I hate the concept of putting things in your eye, whether it’s contacts, eye drops, etc… even air.
Seriously, air. One of the tests had them shooting a little jet of air into my eyes. Since I’m a big pansy-flincher, this test had to be rerun a bunch of times cause my constant flinching kept messing with the results.
By the time the dilation drops came around, I was less than enthused.
“Try to not look at any bright lights tonight,” the doctor told me.
This is New York City… so I saw all the bright lights trying to get home. My eyes are still dilated right now and staring at this screen is driving me up a wall with how bright it feels. Doodling this quick strip was some small torture.
BUT HEY AT LEAST I’LL HAVE A BRAND SPANKING NEW PAIR OF GLASSES!
…that I’ll never really wear because I almost never use my glasses; most folks don’t even know I have them.
Neat!
Eye drops aren’t needed anymore nowadays unless your ophthalmologist is using archaic equipment.
They initially set me up for a different kind of exam, but my insurance didn’t cover that kind and would have cost an extra 35 bucks, so I stuck with the basic thing. I think that’s why I got the drops.
It’s been forever since I had an eye appointment though, so I had no idea the drops aren’t common anymore. That’s a relief!
Well it could be worse. I had a friend who would have to get needles in his eyes. He even recorded it once and put it on facebook. I still cringe thinking about it.
Yeah… that sounds terrifying.
ahahahaha! I had a friend stay at my place for like two weeks and I put on my glasses to go out and he was all like WTF YOU HAVE GLASSES?
So I feel ya on the not wearing glasses thing
