sawylWhile most of the optician's pre-exam questions were easy, one totally flumoxed me: "Do you have any hobbies that involve your eyes?" Luckily, I managed to keep my instinctive answer — all of them! — to myself and instead asked what they expected. Which turned out to be sports. So sports did I reply.
In the end, I passed both my eye exams with flying colours; although I somehow allowed myself to be persuaded to buy a new pair of glasses to match my current prescription. It feels like a bit of a waste, given that I almost never wear glasses and could quite happily get buy with my old prescription, but they were keen for me to upgrade and offered me such a hefty discount that it offset most of my doubts. I suspect, had I told them I don't drive — I usually answer "can but don't", which obviously counts as a yes — they wouldn't have been nearly so fussed...
