NURSE: "They're off"
ME: "Go ahead, you can take them off"
NURSE: "I told you they are off..." (The glasses are clearly on her face, in front of her eyes)
ME: "Are you sure?"
NURSE: "I TOLD YOU, they're off"
So I give her a glancing look...she reaches up and...low and behold she finds her glasses on her face. She did not utter a sound for the DFE and the conclusion of the findings from the exam after that one...
Until I became an optometrist, and interacted with so much of the "public" on a daily basis, I never realized how dull most of the "tools in the shed" are...
