And today is Friday the 13th, my lucky day! <3
Today I shall be reporting on my trip to the Singapore Eye Centre yesterday.
It has been 7 months since I last went to the Eye Centre for check-up. So yesterday, I left the house at 0830 to go the the Eye Centre.
My number was 1281...if I didn't remember wrongly.
So then, I waited for more than half an hour (which seemed like years to me). Last year when I went for check-up, my degrees increased by about 50 for my right eye and 75 for my left, so I was seriously dreading this check-up.
There was only one thought running laps in my mind: Dang, my degrees must have shot up the ladder (or something), and my parents will kill me and ban me from using the computer for it.
So I was really dreading it, like it was my doom or something. I probably dreaded it as much as Allen (D.Gray-Man) dreads having his Anti-Akuma weapon repaired by Komui (that maniac who keeps inventing machines called 'Komurin')...
So yeah, after waiting for very long, my name was called and I trudged into room 31 to have my degrees checked. I sat in front of that weird machine (which smelt heavily of antiseptic) and rested my chin on that ominous looking surface. Then I saw a house in the middle of a field which had a red roof (that was when the lady checked my eyesight, for those who have NEVER done these kind of check-ups before [screams: LUCKY YOU!]).
When I was done seeing that house, the lady asked me for my spectacles to check the degrees of it. Then she ushered me into room 19 opposite room 31.
Then I wore my glasses and the lady passed me those weird black mask-like stuff and asked me to put it over my glasses. The mask-like thing only had one hole so only one eye could be tested at a time.
So she tested my eyes. Dread and doom fell over me as I strained my eyes to read what was projected onto the screen (well, I do know for one that they were either numbers or alphabets). I hated this test the most.
Then the torture ended. The lady announced her verdict.
Reality sunk in...
ONLY MY LEFT EYE HAS INCREASED IN DEGREE!!!!! YESS!!!!! Well, it increased by about 25 degrees, which is not much. I was so freaking happy I had to smile. Scratch that. Grin is the right word for this.
But I still had to put eye drops to dilate my pupils so that another doctor could see what was going inside my eye with these bright lights and lenses that further intensity the light and makes the light sorta larger.
The whole consultation costs about $38, and my eyes hurt for millenniums after that.
