Nice Eyes

Dr. Oliver Passion was an unendingly optimistic optometrist. He peered into eyes with a head lamp so bright it shone through to your soul. No matter where your soul happened to be that day.  He had an uncanny ability to make you feel seen. Also, to make you see by adjusting your prescription. Motivational posters decorated the waiting room. A brightly coloured frog gripping a stick captioned “Hang in there”. A cheerful gold framed plaque that read Live, Laugh, Laser Eye Surgery. A small bubbling rock fountain on a table near the receptionist's desk, offered both the relaxing sound of trickling water and a constant reminder that you had to pee.
