Does your eye doctor still..

use that machine that blows a puff of air in your eye?

I have my annual eye exam this afternoon and this optometrist office uses that machine based on my last eye exam. I don't remember the previous two optometrists using it so I was just wondering if its not being used typically. I just hate that thing! Ugh!

Re: Does your eye doctor still..

  • I went to the eye doctor in the spring and this is the one thing I was dreading.  I cant deal with the puff of air!  Anyways, they told me that its outdated and they use other tests/methods nowadays :-)

  • I went to the Optometrist at a Super Target a few months ago and they used the machine.

  • My eye doc has all kinds of fancy equipment that they use, but they still do the eye puffer thing every single time.

    I would actually kill to have the eye puffer thing these days compared to what they do with my eye every single time I go in!Stick out tongue  However, I used to hate it as well.

  • I'm in the little waiting room waiting for the dr. I'm crossing my fingers that maybe they will just forget to do it. I saw the machine when I was walking back to the examining room. :: shudders::
  • Whoo hoo, I didn't have to do the air puff thingy! So there I was sitting at the machine and my eyes just were not havin' it! The lady felt bad and said she won't put me through it. WHOO HOO!!! Success!
  • Lenscrafter used it on me this summer. 
  • No, my eye doctor never did that one...

  • I went to the eye doc a few months ago and they have newer equipment to test for glaucoma.  The optometrist made it sound like no one used the puffer things anymore!  Glad I picked one that uses newer equipment!
