Lady Dimitrescu was giving me an eye exam. In the middle of it, she commented that I reminded her of a feral cat. She then showed me a hand-drawn comic strip to explain what she meant by that.

Charlie is lucky -- 1/3 of all examinees have the eyes of a medical coder, a florist or, worst of all, a teacher.

Ophthalmologist: Use your left eye to examine your partner’s left eye, same with the right, if you don’t want to accidentally kiss.
Student: Is that genuinely the reason why it’s done like that?
Ophthalmologist: Probably the biggest one, yeah.

I'M OFFICIALLY OLD & I DON'T LIKE IT
@albrechtstarkarm
@elderberriesandarsenic @bitter1stuff
@gifsbysimplysonia
@allhailthe70shousewife
The abundance of technology and lack of humanity causes a longing for the past makes me feel like a fucking Luddite!
(Continue to read for Gen X bitching)
For the last couple of years, I have not been able to see that well through my current classes prescription. Every time that I would come close to getting a new prescription, I would face another eye surgery.
After the Corneal transplant, my surgeon refused to give me another prescription until a year had passed. Because, he said my eyes were changing too rapidly. In the meantime, I cannot see with this prescription at all. I only live about 7 blocks from my school and yet driving there every morning is. Terrifying, because I cannot see well enough. Every time I would go back for a checkup. I would beg the surgeon for refraction. Finally, the last time I wore the surgeon down and he said while he would not provide it. I was welcome to go to one of those cheap eyeglass places and get a temporary pair.
The place where I live does not have one of those places.
And it takes an act of God to get hubby to take me anywhere. So we waited until we were taking a trip to sea his mom, my MiL, four hrs away during Spring Break. And in an unfathomable display of generosity, he offered to take me on the way back to get my glasses.
We stop in Odessa and as luck would have it, there was a Stanton. Optical across the street from our hotel.
I go in and am given an iPad where apparently I have to write down my entire medical history by answering questions in a font so smallI cannot see it because my glasses are crappy.
It blew my mind that a place that people go to because they can't see was making people fill out their own paperwork on. Technology that was so small.
After playing around with it and having my information LIST 3 TIMES &HAVING TO START OVER, I figured out that I could adjust the font size---- but no one told me this.
In the end I had to just hand it over to my husband and have him fill it out!! All of this would have been completely avoided if they had an option for paper. RED FLAG #1
Because I didn't have an appointment. I waited about an hrs & a half. As people were going ahead of me, I am noticing the very young attendant that is taking them into the exam room is asking every single person the exact same saying set of questions quite robotically.
RED FLAG #2
Finally is my turn and as soon as I walk into the exam room red flags are going off AGAIN because nothing in that room looks like what you would need for a glasses refraction.
RED FLAG #3
As someone who has had to go to an ophthalmologist three times a year since the age of 5 ,I know these things.
So the girl who starts bounding off her questions. Did I want glasses or contacts?
How many hours did I spend in one of the computer?
I told her 5.
About 30 seconds later she says "Okay. So you say you spend about 10 hours in front of the computer?"
RED FLAG #4
I didn't bother to correct her and then she starts telling me about all the different type of lenses they have, so I ask her how much those lenses would cost and she tells me that she doesn't know. But after I get my prescription, I can discuss that with people up front.
So you only have one job --that you do with as much passion as an android and you know nothing about the other parts of your organization?
RED FLAG #5
She then tells me she needs to take a measurement of my eye, which I would understand for contacts but i'm getting glasses and i'm not sure she understood me when I told her this the first time.
So she tells me to look into this machine, which I've looked into many, many times and each time that I have. They have put the picture in focus for me.. This time the picture state blurry
The girl then announces that the machine could only take a measurements of NORMAL eyes and since I'd had so many surgeries & eyetrauma, it could not take a measurement of mine. And I would have to be referred to a doctor.
I'm thinking okay......... well where is he?
"Oh, there is no Doctor actually here because we don't do actual glasses examinations, we just do virtual glasses ambinations.
WTF IS A VIRTUAL EXAM???
Anyway, that's when I left.

Okay I think this is more of a Tumblr question:
I am one year short of forty, a.k.a. the moment of universal accord* that one Gets Old. Up until now I have successfully lived without glasses, but I definitely have been squinting more and generally avoiding anything with fine detail. I need to get my eyes checked already.
(*probably not true)
The issue is, since I've never needed glasses before, I don't bother with eye insurance. I have good medical insurance so make sure to pull out your very smallest violin when you play my sad song. And, if I do end up needing glasses, I'll be signing up for vision once I have the option to do so at work. I just want to gauge if I should wait the six months until open enrollment, or if there's a way for me to at least get my vision tested right now without breaking the bank!
Any help appreciated. If the insurance blather didn't make it clear, I'm a good ol' U-S-American.

Doing an eye exam for the first time in about 8 years and the tech says,
“I’m going to go out on a limb and say that you can’t see any letters on this screen?”
Me squinting: “You mean it’s not blank???”

Heading into evening, we caught a bus into central Malmö to brave the cobblestones around Triangeln.
The main mission objective: to finally get set up with new glasses!
It's been worse to try to wear my existing prescription since that surgery, with a big enough change in that eye that the Now Very Wrong Lens is making me seasick and triggering migraines. So I've mostly just been going around without any.
Neither of us was sure where to go, so I decided to try out Eyes + More this time. They are NOT Specsavers, which is all over the place in Sweden too. Plus, they're offering decent-looking package deals which include the option of progressive lenses for less than we would end up shelling out elsewhere. Because I am old and needing them these days. 🥴
Also, they are offering 4-pair package deals to split between two people. He was also needing new glasses, so may as well try there. We went ahead and booked back-to-back exam appointments.
Other than trying to operate on Language Mode: Difficult in a rather busy optical shop with shitty hearing in the first place, it started off pretty well. I browsed and found several good frame candidates while Mr. C went back for his vision exam.
Then it was my turn. Which also started out fine. Especially after I finally cried uncle and fessed up about my limited Swedish skills. (Which no doubt were becoming rather obvious, even before I opened my mouth for more than a few basic phrases. 🙄)
Went through the whole lens-flipping routine and all--and then complications ensued!
This is my current prescription, y'all.
The astigmatism had stayed about the same, at least. With that aftermarket lens replacement, though? They did indeed make my right eye significantly less nearsighted. As in, no correction required for distance vision at all. (Previously, it was just a little worse than the other one. The sudden change still feels weird as hell, after all these years.)
So yeah, the upshot is that now I am pretty damned nearsighted in one eye, and not at all in the other. Easy enough to fix with new prescription lenses, right?
Hahaha, NOPE. 😵
That degree of difference is evidently optically impossible to correct with glasses, unless you want some gnarly double vision. As the optometrist demonstrated with these babies.
I wondered why she was doing whatever trial lens magic that caused the freaky double vision, and then asking me about it. Then she basically just "yupped!", and explained the situation. 😩
I had kinda already had to wonder about some of the questions she was asking about the surgery, who did it, and whether I was sure they weren't planning to do something on the other side too. But indeed, all was explained soon enough.
She was obviously of the experienced professional opinion that some questionable decisions were made there. Trying to be at least semi-diplomatic about it or not. Seemed pretty horrified, tbqh.
So yeah, no new glasses for me right yet!
The current plan is to do as the optometrist strongly recommended, and Mr. C is going to try to get the eye surgery clinic on the phone ASAP tomorrow.
I am honestly still too worn out and brain fried to have looked into possible options yet. That will have to wait at least until later tonight.
Right offhand, I would rather end up having to pay for LASIK or similar out of pocket than let the same university clinic fuck around any more with my other eye if I can help it at all. That may well end up being my best bet, but we'll have to see.

After years and years of chronic migraines and nausea and being told I'm perfectly healthy, my partner asked if I ever got an eye exam. I say no and they go to take me. Turns out my eyes are so bad it's illegal for me to drive! Bruh.
