I'm a little scared!

It's not so bad; I've had it done a bunch of times. The "freezing" sensation wears off pretty quickly.

I believe I have had the same drops. They were testing for Glaucoma I think. It feels mighty weird, but does not hurt.

Yeah, it's the weird sensation I don't like! Ugh!

I've had the numbing drops before, but I could still move my eyes. In any case its weird only for a few seconds, then after a little bit you kind of get the ache like when you are really tired and your eyes ache, you know?? Ah its weird to explain. All in all it only lasts for about 30 to 45 minutes before it returns to normal.

It was also cool to walk in and touch my eyeball in front of my mom and gross her out. And she WORKS at the optometrist!! LOL

I have had that many times, no biggie.

Good luck with your test. I actually love glasses and can't imagine my face without them.

I had it done before too, not a big deal so don't worry a thing about it.

Sounds like your like me, problems with the eyes I acutally had a visit with my dr today too.

Hope it all goes well for you!

Thankyou everyone!

I had the drops done about 2 hours ago, and it's almost worn off. It's made my vision a little clearer further away but things that are very close are blurred. At the moment, I can't read a book, but I can see this computer screen if in recline in the chair.

I really hate the feeling of being numb for some reason, I can deal with things that hurt and stuff but it makes my skin crawl when something is numb. So I didn't like it very much

The optician still doesn't know what's wrong with me though. I've got to go back again soon for another test to see if the drops have helped. He says that my right eye may be long-sighted, and my left one may be short-sighted! If that's the case then I'm quite a rare specimen! So whether I'll end up with glasses, contacts or nothing at all is still a mystery.
