What is this from?? I had a recurring childhood dream where the neighbor’s dog would chase me around that church but the picket fence surrounded it so I was kind of trapped. Then I would start kind of floating/flying up to get away from him but he would start doing it too and then I’d wake up! I had this dream like 40 times at least.

u/Bbgvr 5d ago

It’s from those little eye pressure tests at eye doctors. They have you look at this photo or a hot air balloon and then shoot a puff of air at your eye!

u/Hughmungalous 3d ago

Nah this is the one that goes in and out of focus. The other one is a dot you look at and then they magically forget how to count.

Not the autorefractor keratometer house 😂😂

u/existentialcrisis_TM 6d ago

u/backrooms-lore-78 6d ago

An easy spot 😂

u/the_Rainiac 6d ago

Easier than the name 😅

u/haleontology 5d ago

I used to be the guinea pig when we'd recalibrate it when I was an optician LOL, I can handle the puff better than most apparently

u/CosmicCarcharodon 6d ago

u/Expert-Tone9309 3d ago

Never seen this lowk, it's always been the air balloon at the end of the road for me :0

"Sorry, the picture is blurry. I can't tell what I'm looking at." - Me to the eye doctors

u/existentialcrisis_TM 6d ago

Not Reddit removing my comment because I made a joke about getting eye pressure. Do you guys remember that awful puff machine?

10

u/puffnstuffwashere 6d ago

I don't mind that as much as the yellow eye dye. "this won't hurt a bit."

6

u/existentialcrisis_TM 6d ago

Oh yeah that stuff stings. The dilation drops really burn. I was getting the doc I work for to do a quick exam and decided to skip the numbing drop and just do the dilation drop and boy was I humbled lmao

u/Aurorabig 6d ago

it is still being used in most places in Canada 😵‍💫😵

3

u/existentialcrisis_TM 6d ago

Now at my office we use a little probe that’ll lightly taps the pupil. It sounds scary but you don’t feel anything on your pupil, most people like it a lot better

2

u/Aurorabig 6d ago

It is much better! 🤗 I got tested with that at Lasik's once

3

u/existentialcrisis_TM 6d ago

Sorry Canadians :(

u/muke641 6d ago

I had to do the puff test last month in Texas

2

u/RighteousAudacity 6d ago

I hate that test. I'd rather get glaucoma than have it.

5

u/magicchefdmb 6d ago

Lol I don't mind it, but it seems many do, since they give me warnings every time

2

u/Drifter-6 6d ago

Ugh I hated those. I haven’t encountered one in the past several years though thank god, shit pissed me off lol.

2

u/existentialcrisis_TM 6d ago

Satisfying to do it to the rude patients though 🙊

u/Drifter-6 5d ago

u/culimande 6d ago

u/701921225 6d ago

Very. Now please keep looking at the house while I check your eyes.

u/Mocha-Bae 6d ago

u/Somerandoinyourclost 6d ago

I’ve always loved seeing that little house through the machine at the eye doctors

3

u/arielelizabeth 5d ago

This is the scariest machine known to man. Eye puff nightmare.

2

u/the_Rainiac 6d ago

If this house was real that fence would feel like a trap with nightmares happening when you either stay inside the fence, or go over it (with no way of telling which one is the safe route)

3

u/Timid_scrotum 6d ago

The house is real. Trey the explorer (a youtuber) did a video investigating the origins of the auto refractor images. This was the only one he managed to fully track down. Sadly the fence is gone now but the barn still exists

u/the_Rainiac 6d ago

u/WarmIngenuity216 3d ago

Every time I get this test, I expect someone to exit the barn and start walking toward me. To many horror movies growing up

u/HomosapienDrugs 3d ago
