507 Vision Testing 2

"Welcome your majesty!"

Landon nodded cleanly as he walked to the very center of the room.

Actually, the auditorium was set up like an observatory room instead.

In short, it was best to picture the room's settings to be similar to those of arenas.

At the center of the room was a massive empty space that was filled with several clinical equipment and machines..... as well as 3 patient chairs that could also turn into a bed.

Right now, there was a 50 something-year-old patient sitting on one of those Patient seats.

And standing beside the patient, were 2 nurses.

Of course surrounding the massive space at the center, were numerous elevated audience seats that currently had several doctors and nurses seated on them.

Everyone took out their pens and books excitedly, as they were now ready for Landon's lecture.

Before attending any lecture, they had to register with Landon first..... as well as sign several patient confidentiality forms.

Because during these classes, they usually ended up assessing 1 or 2 patients.

Typically, a few days prior to every lesson..... Landon would give them all Patient information that was important when prescribing medical glasses to Patients.

They were to study these documents before coming to the class.

And for security purposes, once the class ended... they were to submit these documents back and tick their names off the list.

"Did you hear?

Today is the last day for lectures."

"Eh?

Who told you that?

I thought it was next week?"

"Nope!

All eyeglasses will be released to the public next week... so it's today."

"Dammit!

But I missed the lecture on baby eye exams.

I was really shocked that babies also took this sort of exam too."

"Well, with the eyes being important in everything we do... it makes sense to have these eye exams at such a young age."

"Yeah.. your right.

Little eye problems that can be easily treated, need to be caught earlier on before they became big permanent problems."

"I agree!

Routine eye exams need to start at infants who are at least 6 months old.

"Wait!

That isn't right!

Aren't babies typically blind?

I mean isn't their vision usually blurry until they're 8 months old?

In that case, then why are we still checking it then?"

"Sigh... Bro!

You are mixing it up.

Look at the notes!

Baby's get their full vision a little before months.

So at 6 months old or older, it's best to get them checked at least once a year... so as to see for colour blindness and other major eye problems as well."

"Ah! I see it now.

You're right!"

"Duh!

Of course I'm right!"

As those in the class conversed, Landon immediately sanitized his hands before immediately connected his tiny clip-on microphone onto his clothes.

The whole scene resembled how typical classes were back on earth.

Landon tapped on his clip-on microphone just to be sure that it was on.

"Can everyone hear me?"

"Yes, your majesty!" They all replied in unison.

"Good!

Mr. Isaac... how are you feeling?"

Very okay Your majesty" replied the Patient.

"Alright... Then let's begin!"

Doctor Landon was now in the house!

The demonstrational lecture proceeded with Landon thoroughly explaining what he was doing.... while answering several questions from the audience too.

"Eye exams are important for accessing your vision and eye health... so that everyone can see their best.

So can anyone tell me what needs to be done first?"

Immediately, several hands were raised up in the air.

"Your majesty Doctor Landon... a pre-test needs to be done first.

Here, the general health of the patient needs to be checked first.

By looking at that, we will also be able to detect how one's eyes reflect their health." One of the doctors replied.

"Good!

Why is general health important to take note of?"

"Your majesty Doctor Landon... it's because of some illnesses or health concerns like traumas, tumours, high blood pressure and many more..... might cause the patient's vision to become blurry.

So it's important for us to know this and take it into account when making ur analysis and end results."

"Hmm.... with that said, what do we specifically check during this pre-test?"

"We check one's blood pressure... as well as colour and depth perception.

In addition to that, we also check peripheral vision that analyses how well the patient can see from the sides or corners of their eyes."

"Excellent!

And who can perform these pre-tests?"

"A doctor, a specialty technician or even a trained Nurse."

"Alright, no more questions.

Let's begin with Mr. Isaac's Pre-tests."

The entire auditorium fell into deep silence, as they watched Landon go through all the pre-test phases.

Mr. Isaac was even given a book filled with very colourful images.. and was asked to identify each colour.

He was also asked to look at other black and white images as well.

In this particular case, they were testing for his depth perception..... which was essentially the ability to perceive the world on 3 dimensions.... coupled with the ability to gauge objects from far away.

And after the pre-test, they now moved on to the 'Doctor's Exam'..... where many other tests were carried out before they finally proceeded in picking out the suitable eye lens for Mr. Isaac, as well as what eyeglass frame would also suit him best.

Of course when it came to the eyeglass frames, Mr. Isaac chose his own designs from all the options available too.

In addition to that, Landon once again demonstrated how to fill out the forms for offering or requesting for these glasses.

The hospital would gather all the forms, process them and directly order straight from the Eyewear manufacturing industry.

Of course for these first few years, all patients would have to come over and directly collect their glasses from the hospital or clinics in the malls.

With that, the last lecture was finally over... and Doctor Landon was now at peace.

During his stay here, he knew quite a lot of people who had blurred vision... at they were short-sighted, long-sighted and so on.

So come Monday, he truly hoped that they would finally get to see better.

And with that, he would also be able to mark this particular mission as completed.

With that, Landon left the hospital in a merry mood.

And just like him, several others in Riverdale city were also happy as well.

In short, one would say that they were bubbling with excitement instead.

The day they had been looking forward to, had finally come.

So how could they not be thrilled?

In one of the local inns, several men were currently having a late lunch together.

And very soon, 2 others came forth to join them.

"Have you checked?"
