Witty parents who live for these moments.

Clever patients … or regrettably unclever and accidentally funny?

How long had this kid been waiting to ask the big question?

Get in line, COVID-19. I’m getting my extremely outdated eye exam today.

Will we ever find a medium between the sorely reckless patient and the overly cautious one? Don’t
answer that.

Fluctuating vision in pregnant patients … and fathers?

And the “most attentive patient” award goes to …

Dry eye syndrome denial, perhaps

Explain “anything”.

Things optometrists can’t say out loud can always be said here instead. #odconfessions

Sounds like a legitimate question. Anyone know the answer?

So descriptive.

Sounds like a great case study. Who wants to pioneer this research experiment?

Are these patients trying to test our patience?

Is it 5 o’clock yet?

That colorful conversation escalated quickly.

Such patient patients we have.

Let’s get to the bottom of this.

Fancy condition. Wonder how much the surgery cost.

I don’t see anything wrong with herbal remedies. It was organic.

Well, that must have hit where the sun doesn’t shine.

Seems like a logical plan.

I’m sure it worked great in the Department of Losing Friends.

Why would they burn? It’s just a hot pepper.

Hope the medicine didn’t expire.

So quick to blame.

Glad this patient was able to paint a picture for us.

He has a point, you know.

I think I just got a stye, in addition to nausea, from reading this.

Can’t believe they kept this patient waiting without offering coffee and Netflix to get them by.

*Prescribes plano glasses for the rest of patient’s life.*

And perhaps it was, indeed, a detached eardrum.

Ambitious patient we have here.

If guacamole is a form of suffering then I want to suffer forever.

Sassiness exists in all corners of this world.
