I asked the assistant at my optometrist's office to wear a mask while she was working with me. She acted like I requested that she do handsprings while singing in Klingon. (The doctor wore one without any fuss, thank goodness, because I would have left if he refused.)

Guess who didn't get to sell me new frames this year? I can't force you to take basic health precautions, people, but I also don't have to spend any extra time or money in your office if you don't. #covidisnotover #MaskUp

@PennamitePLR Yip! I get free appointments every 2 years. Have declined my latest one due to the fact that the shop in question is incredibly busy all the time, no proper ventilation and no one masks any more (In NZ). Given my eyesight is stable, the risk is too high. C-19 can be caught via the eyes with some variants.
