"I think my eyes are getting better. Instead of a big dark blur, I see a big bright blur."

Well, I had my annual ophthalmology trip today. According to the doc, I'm exceptionally healthy, with very good eyesight for my age. She gave me a prescription for driving glasses she stressed I did not need, "but since you're used to having 20/10, these will give you that."

But they did the glaucoma test, this time without that damned "puff" in the eyeball. Instead, she used something with a big ball at the end, like a giant ball-point pen, and rolled it across the eyeball. It felt very peculiar.

She said it would be three to six hours before the drugs wore off. Well, it's been seven hours now, and while I can finally read again, every bright light still has a damn halo and my eyes are still burning.

I guess I'll geek tomorrow.

Did ... did your eye have to be open for that ... ? *shudder*

I had the eyeball rolley-pokey thing at my last glaucoma test too. I think I'd rather have glaucoma. I was supposed to keep my eye open, but it did its best not to cooperate.

Yes, yes they did. And I didn't feel a thing thanks to the topical eyeball anesthetic.
