Seeing an Eye Doctor

I’ve been getting a lot of headaches the past few weeks and my co-worker suggested I go see an Optometrist.

Dr. Olho: Okay, let’s take a look. Do you wear Glasses or Contacts?

Virginia: I used to, but I had Laser eye surgery three years ago and I don’t wear them anymore.

Dr. Olho: I see. Well, let’s check your Vision. It may be that even though your vision was 20/20 after the surgery, it’s changed and you are now either Near-sighted or Far-sighted. Cover your left eye and take a look at the Eye chart. Read the last line that you can Make out.

Virginia: I can read the fourth line down – X, C, D, O, M, A.

Dr. Olho: Hmmm…okay. Cover your other eye and do the same. Good. I’m going to have you look through this machine and I want you to tell me if A or B is Sharper and clearer. Okay, A or B, A or B?

Virginia: A is a little Blurry. I think B is better.

Dr. Olho: Okay, I think that you’ve developed some far-sightedness and will need reading glasses. I’m writing out a Prescription for you. When you’ve pick out a Frame, give them the prescription and they’ll make your Lenses. Any questions?

Virginia: So, do you really think I need reading glasses? I’m not that old.

Dr. Olho: I’m sorry to say that you do. Some people have to get them earlier than others. At least you’re not having any serious eye problems like Glaucoma.

Virginia: Yeah, I guess that’s one thing to be Grateful for.
