why are eye tests so brutal these days?

went along for a routine test, thinking i would just have to read a few letters... L Y E P etc etc, and they blew air in my eyes, shoved a torch in and told me to stare at the light (nearly blinded me). I could see all the veins in my eyes reflected back in the torch and nearly vomited. Then they gave me some hideous peripheral vision thing. Had to go to bed early, my eyes were throbbing so much afterwards, and they told me I had good eyesight!! Still aching and feeling blurry a day later. In fact my eyes feel totally whacked. Bring back the old tests please ...

Chip, not sure, tbh, he got me to look at some stuff and see if I could see the patterns.

I think myself and my kids are a bunch of sado's as we all look forward to our routine eye checks!!!
