Faith EkstrandHad my first ever eye appointment today. The process is strange and not nearly as measurement-focused as I expected. They just run `git bisect` on your vision.
Jason Bowen 🇺🇦@gfxstrand And I always worry that I'm wrong about which was actually better or worse and will get a horribly mismatched prescription.
Oblomov@jbowen @gfxstrand the really hard part is understanding how much of the correction should be astigmatism and how much focus
Nathan Reed@jbowen @gfxstrand That happened to me (well, not _horribly_ mismatched, but off enough that it bothered me) and I just went back and had them re-measure it. Didn't cost me anything.

Heh. If you do certain laser vision correction they literally cut a flap of your lens, pull it back, zap a laser at the inside to burn off a layer, then pull the flap back over it.
All while you are wide awake and supposed to keep your visual aim locked on a particular spot.
Fun. And it was so worth it.

Neil Henning@dneto @gfxstrand nearly did that in my youth - and if I had I would be blind now (had undiagnosed Keratoconus!). So glad I was too poor to afford it at the time!
