I hate getting my eyes examined, which is why I only submit to it every two years or so. Since part of the reason I go is to make sure that any symptoms of glaucoma or macular degeneration are found, I get the full check-up, involving horrible chemicals to dilate the pupils. These, of course, affect my vision, so I can’t drive home afterwards; fortunately the walk is only about 25 minutes each way, so it’s not too big a deal.
As I was walking home I realised I must have looked more than a little weird in my jeans and a nondescript winter coat, with a floppy sunhat pulled down around my face to minimize the light getting into my stressed eyes, despite the cloud. Not that anyone seemed to notice of course, this being Vancouver.
Sunhat or Sun hat 🙂
When people wear shorts on clear days in spite of 15 degree weather you’re definitely not going to stand out.
