You know when you go get your vision checked, and you have to take that test for glaucoma where they puff air in your eyes?
The test EVERYONE hates?
How does that help them know if you have glaucoma or not?

That tests the pressure in your eyes. The scardey cats get their eyes numbed and they touch it with the end of a microscope piece of glass thing-a-ma-bob. Anything about 15 is something to keep an eye on. MOST people can't tell you what their eye pressure is. Mine was 14 last December when I had my last exam, and was 21 the time before that... Sometimes tiredness causes your pressure to be higher than normal.
YOU CAN GET YOUR EYES NUMBED?? :O
That's so intense. I wonder what that feels like... :O
And I am guilty... I have no idea what my eye pressure is. Now I really want to know...
LOL. How do you think they do laser eye surgery? The person HAS to be awake... they numb the eye so that you don't feel the laser cutting a layer of your eyeball off...
THEY SLICE OFF LAYERS OF YOUR EYE?!
AND NUMB THEM!?
That's so cool... I'm going to start saving up... starting with the change from the movies tonight! BUWAAHAAH!
LOL! You crack me up!!

That shows a quick (possibly more accurate) run down of what happens...
Dangit, they numb them with drops... I was hoping for needles. >:/
You're crazy. I thought I had mentioned they use drops, my bad.
