Today I went to have my eyes checked at IU school of optometry. It's very affordable and they do every test known to man on your eyes. A student, checks your eyes and then an optometrist comes in at the end and checks the students work. Took about an hour and a half.
So I'm waiting and my optometry student comes out and quickly introduces herself and says "follow me, please". I thought I saw..nevermind...we go into the room and she's arranging the equipment as I'm sitting in the chair. She turns and...... I thought of Marty Feldman...one eye was keeping a tract of New England and the other was gazing at Texas. I was trying very hard not to look and she seemed to always have her face turned a little (maybe she learned to do that?), but it was an eye exam so at some point we pretty much had to look face to face, yet I tried so hard not to look, but had that intrinsic need to see what the hell was going on and I know she's literally staring at my eyes so she can tell what I'm looking at. I thought one of them was glass for while, then ruled that out. It all went fine, but I almost thought I was in a Monty Python skit for a minute. At the end, I expected the doctor to be blind.
