Originals

He knew that he was well overdue for an eye test.

He eventually made an appointment and went for a test on the following day. The optometrist, reading his notes, had been surprised at how long it had been since his last test. So far, looking through all these different lenses, he hadn’t done at all well. He was sitting in the chair looking at the table of letters on the far wall. He was asked to read them out. He knew he was in trouble when he had difficulty with the one at the top.

The eye specialist was saying, “Take your time. Try that one again.”

He focussed as hard as he could, but repeated. “That has to be a ‘B’. I’m sure it’s a ‘B’.

The expert coughed politely. “No,” he said, “It’s an ‘E’.

“Are you sure?”

“Yes. I’m sure,” came the reply. Then after shuffling things around, he came up with a pair of temporary glasses that had the proposed lenses slotted into the frames. “Look here, if you’d like to walk back out into the showroom and take a look around with these on for a bit, I think you will find that these improve your eyesight a great deal.”

The patient put them on. They felt heavy, but he could certainly see a lot better straight away. He walked out to where the racks of spectacles hung on the walls. He was generally looking around as suggested, when he caught sight of a mirror. He went over to it and stood looking at his reflection. He was horrified!

He couldn’t believe what he was seeing. So much of his hair was grey, and he had spots on his cheeks that he had no idea he had.

He began to panic.

Rushing back into the test room he put the glasses down, saying, “Sorry, I’ve just had an urgent phone call. I do have to go.”

The other looked up with a frown.

“I’ll have to come back, sorry.” Waving his old glasses, he said, “Meanwhile, I’ll have to stick with the originals for a bit, sorry.”

With that, he left in a hurry.
