Optical Elusion

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?

  • lol I don’t think I can avoid looking at my own blood vessels reflection as everywhere I looked I saw them Rofl ironic thing was when I was little going the opticians never bothered me but I can’t say if I remember doing that thing with the light and seeing the blood vessels thingy. I was told to think of a road map and now I’m scared of road maps lol! I have also seen a SpongeBob episode recently and normally in the uk this particular scene would be edited out but not on paramount and well im even more squeamish with eyes now!
