At the border in Czechia. Standing in front of a screen. "Please remove glasses". Oh, okay. Except not only is my eyesight shit, I also wear a black lens over my left eye bcos neurological things cause the aforesaid eye to drift off on its own. I see double. And, glory be, the crappy left eye is dominant. When it's uncovered, my brain tries to look with it, ignoring the usable right eye. So now I don't know which of the blurry rectangles I should look at, let alone what it's asking me to do.

Anyway, the journey of having only one useful eye has been wild. I didn't realise how much worse my eyesight is than the average. My neurologist will say "take your glasses off... now follow my finger..." and I'm like "what finger?" And he's bemused every time! I love this guy. He's a great doctor. But my eyesight being so godawful that I can't see his finger a metre away is just wild to him.
