My optometrist said we were using 2 charts, both new. So imagine my shock when I put those cumbersome glasses they make you wear over my right eye and went to read the letters. I must have looked shocked and I'm sure I went red because he asked if everything was OK, I mumbled yes and worked my way to the 'bottom' line.

But when I put the glasses over my left eye and he changed the chart, I nearly fell through the chair, I felt my face burning, I thought it must be a wind-up but then the optometrist didn't know me, I was just a client after all

I'm sure you guessed I was only joking. I did have an eye test on Monday actually and I did have a fleeting vision of the optometrist spanking me for not doing well with the field test (that's the space invader machine where you have to zap the little dots which stream in from all angles) but he didn't really show me these charts:)
Pity, don't you agree the charts could do with livening up?
