Oh, what implements of torture exist in the optometrist's examination room...
The one I hate most is the machine that measures the pressure inside the eye using a blast of air - oh how it makes the eyes water! Some places use a device that bounces a little plastic probe against the eye - as icky as it sounds, I think I prefer that one to the air-blast!
If you have had your eyes examined lately, what's the bit of the exam that you hate most?

@LadyDuck So both methods are used on your eyes, interesting. I am trying to remember if the plastic probe is used before or after they put drops in your eyes - I think before, but it has been over a year since I was last at the ophthalmic unit in the hospital.

I had a lot of that when I was a child, had a wonky eye, but its better now, well nearly.

the puff of air in the eyeballs is horrible and I always get headaches from the eye strain from eye-sight tests

Laat week I had some eye infection and got them tested for treatment. They are quite normal except for some viral infection which was due to moving around in a motorbike in the city outskirts.
