So... Whats for lunch?

[purelife]

Good.  I don't like pain.

  My Optometrist said that I would only see far distance and not close.  So, it must get blurry when you want to look at a piece of paper?  Can you put on your contacts after this?

  For some odd reason, I have this image of bulging eyes and ugly smell.

 purelife- I get my eyes checked yearly (high degree of correction...about 9.5 each eye), get pupils dilated every time, and yes, my eyes are getting worse, just like you.

9.5 is really good.  I wish I was 9.5.

  I'm at -12.75 and -14.00.  I'm kinda worried that it's so high!

  ADD:  What's the maximum?

 LOL.  No bulging eyes!  No smell!  You can put on your contacts and walk out the door.  If you went on your lunch hour, your eyes would be back to normal by the time you arrived back at work.

  For real?  Back at work that soon? She said 3-4 hours?  

Do they use instruments to poke your eye?  

[Lil Me]

It's seriously no big deal.
 No, they don't poke sharp instruments into your eyes.  They visually examine and take corneal measurements for your contact lenses.
 
 P.C.?  Sawdust?  Back me up here.

I feel better now.  I was kinda worried when I read about pupil dilation from the net.  I should get it done asap cuz I don't want retinal detachments.

  Sorry for my question overload.  I just need a lot of reassurance and it was difficult to think properly and ask my doc questions when I had my contacts off.  I'm very disoriented without them.

Backed up all the way Lil Me.  It's merely a couple drops in each eye and then they shine a light in them.  NO pain AT ALL.....it barely registers on the discomfort scale.  I too am surprised you haven't had it done yet.....or maybe you have, and didn't even realize it.
