I had an eye exam 25 years ago for pre-Lasik.
They dilated my eyes checked them out then told me to stay put with my sunglasses on.
The place was an old part of Toronto that was underground with shops in an old train tunnel.
I had to get back to my bar so I left.
Walked up the stairs and opened the solid doors to outside in the middle of June with the sun beating down.
Even with my sunglasses my eyes shut closed immediately and started watering. I opened my eyes slightly and pushed my sunglasses right against my eye lashes and squinted my way to the car with my eyes burning and watery.
Made it to the car, sat there for a second drove to work through downtown.
My drive should have been 20 minutes but I had to keep stopping to wipe my eyes and shut them for a few minutes. Took me an hour to get back.
