Human experimentation
OK, this is strange.
I volunteered to participate in a "corneal thickness study" in the OSU Department of Ophthalmology. They want to see how LASIK surgery affects the thickness of the cornea. My laser vision is contributing to science! (And I'm getting paid fifty bucks.)
It's almost a cliche for starving grad students to rely on medical experiments to pay the bills, but whatever.
So the experimenters checked the health of my eyes with a strobe light (which left me frantically gripping my chair),that annoying glaucoma test with the puff of air, and an ultrasound. Now my eyes are numb and I get to wear some really sexy nitrogen-filled goggles for a couple of hours, and then they'll do the tests all over again.
Stand back! I'm going to try science!
