   @zachleat OMG, twinners!

   I'm currently sitting with my glasses off and holding my phone inches from my face thanks to having my pupils dilated at the eye doctor an hour ago.

         @zachleat there are newer methods and gadgets to check almost everything that gets checked with dilated pupils to skip this whole step. But it's expensive hardware so local, independent shops often don't have it.

   @zachleat Also eye appointments: “keep your eyes open because now we’re gonna blow in em’ and that’s for science too.”

   They never seem to be giggling when I leave so I think it’s all legit.

      @mattrambles I have doubts!! especially because it feels like a machine should do it instead of the doctor just using their gross steamy breath
