Well, as a follow-up of my eyeglass frames post<\/a>, I went to my eye appointment yesterday (Tuesday) morning. To make a long story short, got there 9:30am and left about 11:30pm without much waiting at all! The visit could be broken down into three parts as follows.<\/p>\n

(1) Took my visual field (or optical coherence tomography “OCT”) test. Basically, I stuck my head in front of a white semi-spherical projector contraption, and while I focused my eye on the central point of yellow light, I’d click the clicker for each time I detected another dim point of light anywhere else in that semi-sphere. Then after 5 minutes, the other eye.<\/p>\n

(2) Next, after some eye drops, a quick distance test, and another short wait, met with the doctor himself. The previous OCT test was perfectly fine and all my numbers looked stable. In fact, instead of 6 months, I don’t have to see him again until next year!<\/p>\n

(3) Lastly, because I mentioned wanting a new prescription for new frames, he set up a lens test with a technician. In one room, stuck my eyes in front of another viewer projecting a “green field and a house” image. In another room, sat in front of the multi-lens arm contraption to determine the best combination of lens strengths, and then that was it. Time for the co-pay and schedule my appointment for Tax Day 2008, haha!<\/p>\n

So this weekend, I plan to visit the local LensCrafters and hopefully pick out some cool frames. For sunglasses too? We’ll see!<\/p>\n

P.S. Looking at the above photo of Ringo from Air Gear<\/em>, the figure caught my eye even before I watched the anime. But now she seems much more striking. Is it all this talk of frames? :)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
