I agree, it’s terrible.

Did this earlier this year

One of my eyes went back to normal before the other

Took a selfie making it look like I was in the ER and sent it to my direct reports

That was fun

Not a fan of this either, but haven't had to do this the last few eye exams...I think they have some new fangled machine that doesn't require this?

I have drops put in my eyes every time I go to the eye doctor. I have low pressure glaucoma in both eyes and they need to numb them so they can push the pressure gauge onto both eyes to check the pressure. They dilate my eyes around every other visit.
