How did those old timey eye exam things work?

Kind of freaky, no? They couldn't have been all that accurate.

Isn't eye testing all digital now, R1?

R2 No, not that I'm aware of...tell me of this Black Magic you've encountered

One of these futuristic looking things, R2.

Better...or worse?

They’re still used. They’re precision instruments. Any specialist worth their keep has more than one form of technology and knows how to use all of them.

I feel I got better prescriptions, or at least more see-through-able glasses in the 1960s than I get today. I don't know if it's the progressive/non-progressive issue, the Crizal coating (which draws fingerprints, it seems), or what, but I'm never completely happy with my eyeglasses.

How’s your cataract situation, r7?

I believe I have one, early stage, r8. Thanks.

I guess they're better than old timey dental equipment.

Eye care seems to use really cool-looking instruments!
