For me, going to the eye doctor is HELL.

The lights in my eyes, the drops in my eyes, the poking fingers in my eyes.

Ugh!

But I guess this video makes me feel a little bit better about those eye appointments.

An eye doctor named Dr. C posted a video on TikTok and gave viewers some inside info about why do things they way they do.

Dr. C showed viewers a phoropter machine that eye doctors use and said, “What would you do if your eye doc told you this? Before we start. I just wanna let you know that when I ask you, ‘Is there a difference between one or two or three or four.”

She continued, “And they start to look the same, that means that we’ve nailed it, okay? That’s a good thing. So, don’t be stressed.”

In the caption, Dr C wrote, “Do you get stressed at the optometrist? You wouldn’t be alone. Hope this helps.”
