Hello Arthur, what seems to be the problem? Hey Doc, well I think I might need glasses. I'm getting headaches and I really struggle to see things that are far away. But I've always had 20-20 vision. Hmm, sounds like you might be farsighted. Okay then, cover your left eye and read the chart in front of you. Hmm, X, E, R, 3? Uh, question mark and I can't quite make out the other symbol but I think it's the peace sign. Wow, Arthur, you're as blind as a bat. Yeah, I know, my vision is really blurry at times. Okay then, head over to the other room and pick out some frames while I fill out your prescription. Thanks, Doc! Arthur, that's the bathroom.
