tj_roweIf one can see perfectly well with one's current perscription, the Opitition Optision Eye Doctors still make one's perscription stronger. Why, and how? Well, that's what I'm about to discuss.
At present, if I wear my 'current perscription' over a long period of time, such as a double chemistry lesson, my eyes hurt me. This shouldn't happen, as far as I am aware, and so I decided to test a hypothesis that I had formed a few months ago. This hypothesis was based on a conversation between me and my father, in which we discussed how the Eye Doctors had told both me and my sister that the glasses were temporary.
But then, I suppose, on how one defines 'temporary'. After all, the buildings at my school that house the Maths, English, ICT, MFL, History and Music departments were 'temporary' buildings and they've been there for 30 years or more, since the Main School was moved from the Morton House grounds. Ten years of increasing strengths of glasses might be considered 'temporary' if this is the standard.
However, this is not the standard. Even if we take 'a day or two' to be three weeks, this is still not temporary.
My hypothesis is this: The opticians want to keep us in glasses. They steadily increase our prescriptions until, when we reach leave full-time education and so have to pay for them, our eyes cannot function without their aid.
Thoughts?

Date: 2006-01-30 05:47 pm (UTC)I remember when I was in Junior School (Appledore ;) ), there was a girl who had a patch over one eye to allow the other one to 'catch up' and start working at the same level. Now, they just give one stronger lenses on one eye, which make one more prone to headaches.

And on another note, Double Chemistry is teh sux0rz. I've got that tommorow, wih one of the worst teachers ever known. This guy willingly admitted that he used to be a P.E teacher. I ask you why is hw teaching chemistry.
