I had my regular checkup today.
In the middle of the exam, my doctor did a peripheral vision check. That is where you hold your eyes straight ahead and the doctor holds one hand over your head and wiggles his fingers and you say you see them. Then he takes his hand down below you and wiggles his fingers.
Then to the right and then to the left.
I said, “Look, doctor, I hate to criticize your bedside manner, but it makes me a little nervous when my doctor checks me over and then steps back and makes the sign of the cross.”

That never occurred to me! ROFL (Rolling On the Floor Laughing)
I had my vision checked a couple of weeks ago. I think I let my
boredom show while the optometrist was doing the peripheral vision
check…I explained that I’ve done some substitute teaching.
(That’s one of those areas where good peripheral vision can be
a survival skill!)
