Yup, Opal you need new glasses. Big time.

SHIRLEY she knows her optometrist’s name

These days, they just show me the same line over and over, with various amounts and kinds of correction, and I have to decide which which is better. I bet it’s been a decade since I read the whole chart from the top.

It’s just that Opal cannot see where exactly her optometrist is pointing at…

LOL!

Check out another eye chart on today’s Speed Bump:

I know the feeling Opal ! On one of my visits my optician changed the chart for the kids little drawings version while I still dutifully tried to decipher: “Er… Z? U?”

not finding any of opal’s guesses on the board

His name is Shirley.

IT’S NOT WHEEL OF FORTUNE, OPAL.

“Then can I call you Ryan?”

That chart has a lot of funny words on it, like the one Will Stockdale read in No Time For Sergeants

You sit in that chair and you can’t see. you have bigger problems than calling someone Vanna.

Ew…Vanna

Vision spec asked, Can you read this chart?

Answer: Heck yeah. I know all those guys.

If I had seen this last week, I would have called Dr D Vanna and tried to buy a vowel!

Wow – people actually talk to VANNA on that show..??????

Funny!

Opal must be constipated. She needs a vowel movement.

…and quite calling me “Shirley”

Banana, banana, Vanna banana…♪ ♪

Why is the eye chart nothing but types of wine?

The chart at the DMV that they wanted me read while wearing my glasses was so close that I could read the bottom, smallest line. When I asked the person helping me if I should just read the bottom line, he laughed and said “No, just read what I asked you to read” ;-)

Good one Opal.☺️

Funny joke. Made me laugh.

I’m gonna do this next time I get an eye exam!!! LMAO

Very funny!…

I got in trouble with my eye dr at my last visit. “Where is your dog? Why are you here without your dog? We need your therapy dog here!” I will take her next time. She was sleeping so contently I decided to leave her home.

Opal clearly doesn’t wear her glasses as a fashion statement.

I sympathize with Opal!

I could possibly pass the test at this point, but I know how messed up my eyes are, so I donated my car and just got a State ID (still haven’t surrendered my license, though — if I’m in a friend’s car and they have a sudden problem, I could still probably pull a car to the curb.) I have both macular degeneration (no cure for that; eventually, you lose central vision) and double vision. It’s one of the major reasons why I moved back to my hometown of Pittsburgh from Central Florida, even though Pittsburgh’s winters are tough on me. Florida really has little public transportation…

How many optometrists does it take to change a light bulb?

One, or two?

One, or two?

One? Or two?
