So I went down to the eyedoctor’s today. Now, I’ve had glasses since like, third grade. I’ve also been in this really sweet myopia research study since then: COMET

to break it down, I was recruited at some point, and about once or twice a year I go in for 1-2 hour exams at the New England College of Optometry’s Children Studies Center, which is just a few rooms in a back basement of some building in Boston, and get my eyes checked out. What I get in return are free glasses and $10 gift cards. Free glasses. Sweet.

So I go down today, after a whole day of happily napping and lazing around, albeit bored. And so I’m going through the routine, which near the end involves putting some drops in my eyes to dilate the pupils. It takes some time, and they decide they’ve already decided they’re going to change my prescription, so I get ushered into the lens selection room. There, my eyes totally bloodshot, with me blind as a bat without my glasses, and looking like shit to boot, they want me to try out glasses. Wtf?

I can barely see, I look like shit (I really did, puffy eyes, all swollen, like I was some druggy or something), and the guy puts like 10 lenses down, and I’m just trying to bring stuff into focus, and …
it was an odd expectation.

but whatever, free $200 flexion glasses D
happy christmas bab-ay!

and happy holidays to yins too

EDIT: haha, I messed up here majorly. Replace every single time I said lens with frames, excpet for the times it makes sense to say lens (or lenses). Have fun
