I had my eyes -- one farsighted, one nearsighted -- measured yesterdays for a stuff in the right one. I thought they'd use delicate instruments, but the technician used a metal yardstick. One of my eyes is longer front to back than the other.

They also assured me that I'll be given enough whiskey that I won't care that the doc will be poking me in the eye with a sharp stick.

I get stuffed on January 19. I only hope that I don't see such a mess as gnu describes!

(The left eye gets done later. It's not quite so bad as the right.)
