I took a relative for a glaucoma eye test at the hospital last week, and sat in during the appt.
The 3 puffs and the field test looked easy enough.
The more accurate glaucoma pressure test looked much more challenging!
He put numbing drops in her eyes, then squirted clear gel onto a cup shaped gadget, lifted her eyelid out of the way and manually pressed it onto her eyeball while he measured the pressure.
Ayyyyeeeeeee!!!!
That one would have freaked me out, but hat off to her, she didn't even flinch.
When I asked her about it afterwards, she looked surprised and said 'I've been wearing contact lenses for over 50 years. That? That was nothing.'
Mind you, she complained that the tests hurt her neck, so she didn't come out of it completely comfortable.
