Truffles loves to help others feel more comfortable with their eye exams. This is a Fur-opter or as we like to call it a Phoropter đ
Letâs Talk Fur-opters!
Okay, furriends⌠I know what youâre thinking.
âTruffles, what in the world is THAT thing on your face?!â
Well, around here, I call it a Fur-opter.
But your eye doctor probably calls it a phoropter. (4 -opter)
And despite how enormous it looks on me, itâs really just a very cool way for your eye doctor to put lots of different lenses in front of your eyes to find the ones that help you see your very best.
You might hear your doctor ask:
âWhich is better⌠1 or 2?â
âHow about 3 or 4?â
Let me help you feel better. You know what?
There are no wrong answers!
Just tell your doctor what you see. Each answer helps them learn a little more about your eyes and find the purrrfect prescription.
And if a phoropter looks big, strange or even a little scary the first time you see one, donât worry. Nothing goes into your eyes, and it doesnât hurt. You just peek right through those little windows! If I can do it, you can too!
One thing Iâve learned from spending lots of time around eye doctors:
Things arenât nearly as scary when we understand what they do.
So if you see something unfamiliar at your next eye appointment, just ask about it!
Iâm helping too!
one Fur-opter at a time!
âTruffles, which is better? One or Mew?â
âMewâ
