My eyes have been bugging me for a while now.
Throughout the day they start to sting more and more.
I also felt that my vision was more getting more blurred.
So today I decided to go see a 'real' optician and not one you find in a generic store for glasses.
I made an appointment for 13:00 in Rotterdam.
I entered the office/store and it was completely empty.
I walked to the counter where I was greeted by a nice lady of around 50.
We exchanged greetings and I explained what the problem was.
She sat me down on a chair with all kinds of bells and whistles attached to it and then proceeded to take measurements of my current glasses.
When she came back she started here measurements where I had to to look through a huge device with interchangeable lenses.
I have done this before in a generic store but her tests where completely different.
I had to read letters on the wall but also look at different colours (green/red) and a circle with lines on them all the while she was changing lenses and I had to say if things looked sharper or not.
It took a long time.
By the end of all this I got the result.
And she said the on thing I did not expect.
She said, you have much better vision then most people!
You just have the wrong lenses!
I nearly fell of my chair!
She explained that some people have more light receptors on the back of the eye and can see more detail.
The baseline is 100%, I have 150%.
I said, but I need glasses to see!
She said, well that doesn't matter. Some don't need glasses and they only have 80%.
Your eyes are fine but your lenses are completely wrong!
She said, both your lenses are off by a quarter but worse you axle is wrong by 30%! (I have no idea...even after she explained it what that means).
Wow! I did not expect any of this.
She promised me that by next week I will have eagle vision with new lenses.
I hope this is all true because I can barely believe it.
