At the optometrist.
2008 October 28
Mayka gets an eye exam.
Optometrist turns off light, asks Mayka to focus on letters across the room.
Optometrist: Can you read the bottom row there?
Mayka: Yeah, sure. C, Y, O.
Optometrist says nothing. He looks at Mayka, picks up a set of lenses from the desk and has Mayka look through the orbs.
Optometrist: Can you make out the bottom row now?
Mayka: Thinking “Didn’t I just read him the row?” Yeah, C, Y, O.
Optometrist: Holding up a new pair of lenses. How about now?
Mayka: Umm, yeah, C, Y, O… But the C looks more angular…
Optometrist: New pair of lenses. And with these?
Mayka: Umm, the C looks like an E now…
Optometrist lowers the lenses. Mayka squints at the letters.
Mayka: Oh, I guess that is an E.
