Optical Elusion

ArchaeC

Having procrastinated for over a year in arranging an overdue eyesight test at the opticians, a recent visit left me shaking.

I sat on the chair and positioned my head on the chin rest of the autorefractor. The optometrist shone a light in my eye and peered at it from point blank range. At this point my head started trembling.

This has happened to me every time I go for an eye examination, yet my body and arms remain steady which is strange.

Do other people find eyesight tests difficult?

  • I was ok with the eye tests at first but I haven’t been 11 years because the last time I went I nearly fainted. I kept seeing all my blood vessel reflections which made me faint. I thought I was going to be ill in the opticians but I wasn’t ill until later that night at home. I’m defo taking after my dad with the squeamish stuff
