Had an eye test the other day as I was getting new glasses. It was my first eye test in Argentina and done in a public eye testing centre. It was really p*** poor.
Apparently my vision has improved in both eyes and in the right eye by 50% since my last test 2 and half years ago in the UK! I read maybe 5 or 6 lines of letters for both eyes. The same lines for both eyes so you remember what you just saw with the other eye! And then a card with diagrams to see if I was colour blind. The whole test took less than 5 minutes and there was no backlog of patients to see, The consultation room had the same (new) specialised equipment you'd find in the UK for example so...?
On top of that the cara de culo con mala onda young eye tester put way too much of that liquid that dilates the pupils so I smarted (no warning from her) and I had black irises the whole evening which freaked me out (she said it would be just for a couple of hours). No 'hola, como estas, what the hell are you doing in Argentina' etc and while I waited in the waiting room for my eyes to dilate she proper slammed the door behind me.
I returned the next day to collect the 'recipe' and she was still moody.
Im wondering if 'is it cos I is Britanico'..
Anyway more importantly Im wondering if all eye tests here are this basic and how common this level of unprofessional slap dashery is. Others experiences?
