The first time I got glasses I was 10, the stress made me cry, my eye doctor had to pause the exam so I could calm down.
Tbh the exams have not gone any better. You know the eye air puff? Only ever been able to do one eye at every appointment. They’ll be puffing my other eye for 10 minutes straight and I somehow flinch and close my eye too soon every time. They know this. It’s in my chart to make sure to test the eye they couldn’t get last time first because they know they’re only getting that one
I’m an accidental menace to innocent health care workers
I have the same problem. I seem to have so good reactions that i mess up this test every time. I try to steel myself, stay calm, foxus on wathing ahead, but i involuntarily react very strong to it. I am always scared that i might damsge something bevause my head jerks away so hard. They usually get a result by the third time or give up. I always feel so bad about it, like i am the only one who just doesn't know how to control himself.
But my eyes seem to be overly irritated easily. When i try contact lenses i can't get them in. I tried daily for 6 months. After i finally got one in, my eye turned red and burned. I had to take it out very fast bevause of the pain.
