Look, we all know we should get our eyes tested. But who has the time, right? You’re busy, you’re broke, and you’d rather pretend the fine print on your phone is just “artistic blur.”

The eye test that doesn’t hurt
I went in last month expecting the dreaded puff-of-air test. You know the one—it feels like a tiny, angry ghost is poking your eyeball. Spoiler: they barely use it anymore.
