optical irony

“Your eyes are not focusing well because they are learning to relax again.”
“Huh? My eyes are… what?”
“Yes. You were wearing lenses with the wrong prescription for awhile. Now that you’re wearing the right ones, it’ll take some time for them to adjust, to relax.”
“Because previously the prescription was too high?”
“Yes, your eyes were working overtime to compensate. Overcompensate in fact. That’s why Mike brought the power down a lot to the right ones. Actually, the best way is to reduce them gradually.”
“Wahhh… my eyes are stressed because they’re trying to relax.”
“Well, the good news is that they’re looking healthier than before. We’ll lower the power for the left eye a little bit more and then see how it goes.”
“But I will still be able to see clearly?”
“Yes.”
“And my eyes are err, relaxing in the meantime?”
“Yes.”
“That’s possible? I mean, that’s normal?”
“Yes, perfectly normal. They’re doing that right now.”
“Okie. Good. Hee… Thanks, Mr. Yap!”
