I don’t wear glasses or contact lenses. The wife, for a period as girlfriend, used to tell me I needed glasses, that I was blind, that I should get my eyes checked, etc… for various reasons. I always chalked them up to the usual girl nags guy (not in a bad way, in an ‘I love you’ kind of way). So a couple of times over the past ~7 years I had my eyes checked by a nurse or assistant or whatever at the doctors when I was getting a physical. Its part of the physical, read the chart from so far away. And those times my eyes were great, 20/16 and 20/17. Well, that was never enough. I needed to see a real eye doctor.
Today, years after I have heard anything about my alleged bad vision, I saw an optomotrist. His exact words were “If everyone had eyes like you, I’d be digging ditches.” Yes, I rawk, no specs for me, I don’t need sexy specs to be sexy! I’d probably just end up being spexy instead.
