Is vision relevant, as in eyesight? or "vision" as in foresight? Something else? OTRT? OTWT? |

Is it a human that an optometrist can't help? A specific optometrist? Or any optometrist? Does this have any thing all to do with eyes? An optometrist can't help a human in a medical sense? Or is this something other than medical treatment? Is it to do with with something in a particular a person is looking at, but even with perfect vision they can't make out the details? Due to fog? Darkness? Distance? |

"Seeing a vision?" Religion relevant? Dreams relevant, even if not 'visions'? |

Was it thought that an optometrist could in fact help? Would a newcomer to the situation think that one could possibly help? Was an optometrist consulted, with disappointing results? Is there a specific optometrist involved? Are politics involved? Research science? Astronomy? |

Is optics involved? Would anyone be able to help with it? Would anyone seriously think an optometrist could help? Are glasses involved? Drinking glasses? Lenses? Windows glass? Some other glass? Is the optometrist supposed to help the bargoers because their glasses of beer are all empty? |

A play on the word "optometrist"? On part of the word? If so, is the relevant part "opto"? Or "Metrist"? "Optimist" relevant? |

The "opt" part of the title relevant? Like "The optometrist cannot help you if you opt for something, advise you on your options, or cure your depression with optimism"? |

The homonym "glasses"? Like "We lifted our glasses for a toast, but the optometrist was unable to empty his because they were fixed on his nose"? or "After several glasses, the room started to look blurry. Sorry to say, the optometrist couldn't help me correct that"? |

is it people who talk about themselves all the time? ****************************************SPOILER************************************** Well done, Shez. I don't know about other countries, but America is suffering serious "I" trouble. We are fast losing the use of words like we, our, us and replacing them with I and my and mine. just listen to conversations around you and in the shops. Even the lowliest clerk you would think owns the shop with his 'I have....' or married persons with, 'my house, my children. I wish this could be cured as easily as a visit to the optometrist. OK, I'll get down and someone take away the soap box. |

Dave, just as annoying, if not as prevalent, is the use of the plural when the singular is meant. There is some excuse for the editorial "we" but not the medical one: "How are we feeling today?" "I don't know about you, Doctor, but this one of us feels lousy." |
