  • Jimmy looked so punk back then!

  • that was a very deep v...

  • the words "don't blink" are some of the most terrifying words someone could say... xx

  • "Victoooorian contraption" lmao

  • Haha! Youtube recommended this to me. This was a very weird and random video :P Funny though :)

  • I wish you still had all your old videos up I found them so funny! like that one about the environment day or something...

  • At first, sorry for my bad enlgish. Im from germany. But i have a question: What would u think if soneone "stole" ur video. If he just translated it to another language and tells the people that it is his own ? Im just interested in that. I hope i get an answer.

    By the way, ur videos are good :)

  • @Sippi200 Meinst du KarimsTube? :D

  • @oOMiss658 Ja...^^

  • hahah i feel the same way about 1 or 2...it gets to a point where they both look the same, but you don't want to disappoint them.....

  • This had me in stitches... thanks for much for such a good laugh.

  • Haha. This perfectly describes my last encounter with an optrician two years ago. I thought I was so freaking stupid because I could never tell which actually assisted my vision. I developed this brilliant strategy of always picking the second one unless I could genuinely tell a difference and she figured me out. "Are you just picking out the second one?" and I sort of mumbled and she sighed. The rest of the appointment was in sweet, uncomfortable silence.

  • 1. I'm an optician training to be an optometrist - i dont wear glasses

    2. Wearing a spectacle correction, corrects your vision so that you can see clearly (6/6 or 20/20 vision). Its Highly unlikely they are partially sighted too.

    3 if you cant tell the difference then say that...dont make it up. Although tbf they should have given you the option of 'or both the same'

    4. we can tell if your making it up anyway.

    5. trial frames/phoropter heads work perfectly well - would you rather hover lenses?

  • 6. In low levels of ametropia, its the patients discretion, some people find it helps some don't. The optician can't decide if your happier looking through the correction or if your happy with slightly poorer vision. Its entirely subjective in lower prescriptions.

  • @theauburnfairy Get back in your cage, silly optician. Stop ruining the comedy with all your sciencey nonsense. Obviously Jimmy was joking and didn't literally mean that ALL OPTICIANS WEAR GLASSES, so congrats on disproving that extensively researched fact, have a cookie. He also didn't mean any of that other stuff. Do they not teach you humor in optometry school? He's exaggerating stuff to make it funny, because let's face it - a regular visit to the optician isn't this hilarious. Bye now.

  • Everyone is welcome to visit my channel for free videos on natural eyesight restoration

  • the sad truth is that places that sell glasses are not places you will get genuine help for eyesight problems. if you want to improve myopia/astigmatism/hyperopia you do eye exercises. If you have an eye disease/serious disorder see an ophthalmologist. glasses do not cure eyesight problems

  • Don't blink or the Weeping Angels will getcha!

  • Cute.! :D

  • Why is he cute?! >_<

  • Do you know karimstube? He look like you

  • @jellboy1 and he say the same like you ...

  • my dentist has braces...):

  • In America, Optometrist perform the eye exams.Opitcians fill the prescriptions

  • but I did just run her over sooo... hahaha love it.

  • Don't blink

    blink and you're dead

  • @Keira13 I thought that aswell. :L :L

  • @Keira13 :)

  • "Victorian-looking contraption" :') oh jimmy

  • haha, i feel the same way when i go to the eye doctor! like when they do that thing "is it better with one, or two?" i feel so pressured, like there's a right answer i have to get! but they both look the same ha.

  • To be honest.. I only look at ur clips because ur incredibly HOT.. i mainly look at the ones that you mainly look very attractive in, like this one.. And ur stories are amazing and funny lol.

  • we have to get really close u fool, that's the only way to know if ur eye is healthy, that you don't have diabetes or glaucoma, idiot

  • hahaha, "don't blink, blink and you're dead". Doctor who references anyone?

  • BRITISHH:)

    <3 i am too :D tehe.

  • Jimmy.

    Don't blink.

  • Finally someone understands. I completely agree with you. I also hate getting my eyes checked.

  • SEXY MCSEXYSEX

  • Haha, this is hillarious! I feel exactly the same way about the opticians ( : x

  • Making up answers seems like a much better solution than just saying "Can I see #1 again?" .

    I've noticed that all opticians are glasses-bearers too!

  • amaazing! you should do stand up! :L

  • Im glad someone thats not from the south is making videos, so people can see we dont all talk like hugh grant :)

  • Don't blink, don't turn your back, don't look away and don't blink -- David tennant as Doctor Who :)

  • Ur hot ! ! ! Hair, sexy accent, humor ;) ur like hotter than zac efron !

  • @Vampireobsessedchick

    That's a it of an insult in my eyes, but that's purely because I think Zac Efron is a bit of a creep and is not hot what-so-ever, but I do agree that Jimmy0010 is extremely attractive. Now I sound like the creep :P

  • @LadyCrimsonHeart I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder :P

  • you are really fit

    i love your hair

    i love your clothes

    i love your accent

    i love your humor

    lest face it

    i love you

  • They should actually be giving you a choice of 'one is better, two is better, or you can't tell'...'I can't tell the difference' is a perfectly valid answer, and one the doctor needs to hear eventually in order to move to the next level of refining your vision on the 'victorian device' (phoropter). And it is no more up to the doctor to say whether or not you 'need' glasses than it is for him to say you 'need' to take a pain pill for a headache...if your symptoms are bad enough, you'll know ;)

  • Haaa hilarious xD !!

    x

  • Hahaha my Dad's an optometrist and he's not got glasses... however he is colourblind xD

  • there r a new type of those big glasses things they accualy scan ur eye once and then it comes up on the opticans screen and it tells u if there r any problams

  • very good.

  • I wouldn't mind getting close if you were the optician...

  • hahah exact the same thing happened to me, i never can tell the difference between the two lenses and when i say like, dunno cant tell, they just say hey, there must be a difference so i just guess! but how should that now be an exact measurement of my eyesight ?!? so yeah, im feeling withyou ^^

  • so hot

  • I feel the same way about opticians!! haha

  • This made me laugh, I can relate so well..I've had glasses for 13 years; and I'm still in my teens, so that's most of my life.

    The worst is when they do a retina check. First the pour stuff into your eye LOWERING your defences to the point where normal light is difficult to take. Then they make you lay down, force your eyelids open and shine a light in your eyes until you can hear your brain vibrating.

    The doctor I go to is always really impatient too, so it's an emotionally scarring experience.

  • My eye doctor makes me uncomfortable because he still INSISTS on taking out and putting in my contact lenses for me (even though I've worn contacts for years). Creepy eye touching fetish? Not sure...

  • @CherryViolence

    yeah...mine doesnt

    lol

  • i enjoy that you say twat in almost all of yout videos.

  • what a fabulous accent ..

    I LOVE IT ..

  • Honestly I think what they have nowadays is better than just a sign 20 feet away with letters one it.

    Well, at least they make it seem like they're doing a better job. :3

  • you are veryyyyy cute :)

  • mmm. team v-neck.

  • "Don't blink. Don't even blink. Don't turn your back on them. Don't look away. And whatever you do, don't blink. Good luck!"

    Doctor Who quotes - because they fit even out of context! ^_^

  • @writeranonymous

    omg that is exactly what i thought

    im like

    is that why you are scared?

    lol

    oh context is unnesesary

  • i wear contact lenses, and i don't like going to the optician either.. they always ask the same things each and every time i come there.. i just know exaxctly everything they're gonna say.. and what you said about the number 1 and 2 glasses, it IS always the same yea..

    weird optician!

    you seem pretty cool! (:

  • .

    hmmm....you make some sense!

    .

  • does any1 know where can I buy the ABO and NCLE book I really need it ASAP if you know where to buy this book plz plz plz let me know :)

  • OMG I love ur accent!

  • أمانة انك بريطاني للعظم من الاكستن حقك

  • wtf is this supposed to mean?

    wtf is aksten ?

    it doesn't make any sense -,-

  • your accent is so hot...and so are you :))

  • hahaha you're really cute :)

  • thanks for the laugh!

    x

  • hahaha.... true! SO true!! :) i've never thought of it that way.

    wow.. you're hotttt, AND smart! :) haha.

  • haha!so true man!

  • groovyschmoo, ur so knowledgable! r u an opticiAN!!?? :o

  • my mom's an eye doctor...but i absolutely hate it when people come near my eyes... :(

  • when they say "1 or 2" you can say just the same! thats them checking for astigmatism and if they do both look the same that means that you don't have astigmatism.... which is a good thing!

  • I actually like those "victorian looking contraptions"

    it's quite interesting to look at. :D

  • lol legend

  • you go to the orthodontist for braces.

  • lolll! I'm nearsighted but only slightly. I LOVE my optician! But i have a cool one. He told me that it's easier to do the tests on girls because we are used to eye makeup and putting things up to our eye but for all men it's like BLINK BLINK BLINK and one guy even punched him lol.

    And for the which is better 1 or 2, if i cant tell the difference i tell him and he makes an adjustment. Just be honest :p or you get too strong of a prescription!

    But I had a good laugh either way. :p

  • The 1 or 2 thing is so true!! Happens to me everytime! Is there anyone else who even when they have the most perfect lenses on can't read the smallest letters? these are just too small!!

  • you can say the lens looks just the same cause then they find another lens

  • I have just been to the optician, and I was in that room where you see a blurry thing and then a not so blurry thing, like you, but I was in there for an hour :o and in the end I felt a big pressure to choose the most clearer of the two options. It was exhausting

  • i fear the opticians like people fear the dentist, which sucks as i wear glasses :(

  • Oh my I agree 100% with the #1 or 2 thing, it gets me ever time. Oh and with reading the letters I'm always afraid I'm getting them wrong or I'm not doing well enough.

  • Your impression of an optician is wacked. I am an optician and I do wear glasses as well as contacts. Many people that are in the field go into because they want to help other people see well and also look good. So don't look down on us because we want to help people. So the old victorian contraption your speaking of will always look like that because it works. It's called trial glasses where we put your exact prescription in them so that you can see what the glasses will do for you!!

  • lol settle down.. you act like he's personally insulting you.. its meant to be funny. :P

  • ME TOOO, haha, i'm always just like umm 2... my prescription is probably way off or somethin now

  • I agree with every single bloody thing you said here.

    And when the optician switches the lenses on those giant glasses, I can't help but laugh... and plunge us both into awkward silence. The last time I went he asked, "what are you laughing about?" I spurted out, "sorry, just an awkward laugh haha... ha... ha."

  • Whenever I go, my sister always happens to be there with me, and she can never help having like a major laughing fit. Because those Victorian-thingies-whatever-yo­u-called-them... absolute ridiculosity.

    And that machine thing that you have to put your chin on and you look into the thing, even more so!

    In fact even when my sister isn't there, I have my own laughing fit. Which causes me not to focus and may explain why my glasses are never the right prescription.

  • haa

    when i was little i lied because i wanted glasses because i thought they made people look cool.

    Turns out i actually do need glasses and it's rubbish

  • THE SAME WITH ME!

    It's silly haha!

  • i am the exact opposite. i absolutely love the optometrist. i like walking out with a new set of specs and being able to see clearer than before. it also helps that my optometrist is so fucking gorgeous.

  • gosh, lucky you.. mine looks like the professor from back to the future.

  • omg I went to the optitions the other day and I laughed all the way true 'cause of this video he thought I was crazy...

    the look on his face made me laugh even more !!

  • you are getting more more cute in every video.

  • you make american girls wet, do you know this?

  • Um Jimmy..... Who gave u those scissors?

  • Yeah it's the same for me. My optician just get too close to my face, i kind have to fight the urge to slap him away lol. I got my £100 pound glasses around january but i only have to wear them when i'm driving. And i'm learning so that's about once a week lol. They're funky though, they're purple :D

  • i totally make up answers too! sometimes i really cant tell the difference lol

  • :/ my damn optician made me wear glasses all the time even though my grade was kind of low. and now my grade has risen and I NEED to wear glasses. bastards

  • i went to one last week and i made up all my answers

  • You are a genius!

    xx

  • I love the way there is a vision express add next to this video XD

  • the same exact thing with me. XD

    my eye doctor had glasses and also told me it was up to me lol.

    i have glasses now, and i think my eyesight is getting worse.

  • lol I do that in the focus tests too, you feel like an idiot saying 'I don't know' for all of them.

    I have a weird thing about making eye contact with people aswell so when they're like an inch away from your face and ask you to look straight at them... god I hate that =[

  • I love this video. So true.

    I didn't really like the tests either. (ridiculous-looking glasses!)

    Had my eyes checked this year and I got glasses but it's quite retarded because the degree is so low. :/

  • YOU LOOK INCREDIBLY SEXY LIKE THAT

  • seriously, i adore your hair ;]

  • god your hot

  • my orthodontist has braces... Also he has these animal faces on the walls everywhere with braces on them for some reason O.O

  • HAHAHA I completely understand! Sad story, but when I was younger the optometrist asked my mother if I was slow b/c it took me so long to answer which one I could see better with..."1 or 2?" lol But it wasn't cuz I was slow, I just couldn't tell the difference either between the two! haha Geez! Needless to say, we never went back to that doctor.

  • haha too true !x

  • haha same but! after they put them 5 different lences in, my eyes have given up figuring it out whats going on and if i look under the glasses at the floor for a bit, they go back to normal and the lence looks different

  • I basically lie each time as well. I got my glassess changed and I had to go through that one or two? thing again. I really can't tell so I make them do it at least three times before I just choose the second like always haha.

  • Nice hair!!!

  • I know a lot of dentists who wear braces ...

  • my aunt went to work in an opticians and she was made to wear glasses with clear glass in them!!! she has 20.20 vision yet she had to wear frames. haha :P

  • Haha. They do all wear glasses! But luckily, so do I.

  • i do that too!!!!

  • oh my god, that's exactly how i feel when i go to the opticians.

  • i make up the answers too.

  • HAHAHAH i totally relate to this... especially the focus part 'is it 1 or 2?'

    well done hahahahaha

  • haha i went the opticians the other day, and im sitting here laughin my head off, cause it was exactly lyk that!!

    lyk friggen dèja vu..

    you ledge ...

  • if lens 1 and 2 are the same that means u dont have a cyl in your prescription,

    it depends on ppl personaltiy if they want to see clearer or not/have glasses or not coz it doesnt have an effect on how your prescription matures jus if u wana spend the cash 2 c better

  • Do you hate the world?

  • You are so right! They all wear eye glasses. I don't know about you but have you ever had to do that flippy 3D book with the animals??? Good times.

  • HAHAHAHA LMFAO It's so true

  • you're fit

    omg please

    sex me now

  • shut up nad fuck me !!!

  • Pleaseee put up all your old videos again. I like watching through all your videos when im bored.

  • yknow, in this vid you kinda look like John Ohh from The Maine.lolz

    xoxo

  • :L i have pretty bad eyesight & go to the opticians every year. I used to get freaked out by them being so close to my face, but i guess i'm used to it now :L

  • hahaha pmsl pause at 1:51 its hilarious!

  • 'it's def number 2'

    haha i did that too,

    i really couldn't see the difference

    :p

  • Lolz yh totally true! They said the same to me and I'm like err well do I need glasses or not? (I said no cos I'd hate to have to wear glasses)!

  • LMAO..love it :)

  • your geography teachers fucking hot then.

  • Comment removed

  • [reply to LifeLikeMovies12]

    hmm, he kinda is... (:

  • LOL, you remind me soo much of my geography teacher

    yepp, random i know

  • I have never been to the opticians and now never want to.

    Thanks.

  • 1:27 to 1:29

    funniest thing!!

    also tbh if you didn't have glasses you probably wouldn't aspire to work in an opticians. mooooost probably the reason why all people who work there are wearers of giggs. This probably leads the reason why whichever pair of glasses you pick out, the workers don't think they suit you and pick out glasses that can only be described as Deidre rejects :P :) x

  • lolololololololololololololol.­.........When I saw that video i laughed profusely!

  • My favourite bit when I go to the opticians is when the person is about 1cm away from you with this torch shinning right in your eyes, if you weren't blind before, you are now cos of the bloody light! And you can hear them breathing really heavily. It must be a necessity to have asthma when you apply for the job.

  • how bizzare...

    i like him

  • ur very cute. :)

  • its so true! i would rather go to the dentist than the eye docter

  • Where I'm from,(we are not communist and we do know english, for the most part) most of us wear glasses. Most say its attributed to the fact that we love our books. for me, it's because of the telly. personally, the world is a little better blurry.(I know, incredibly irrelevant, remove the comment if you like. "why did you comment?' you may ask.. it's because i need exposure and because i'm incredibly lonely. I'm also very embarrassed because I had to recomment due to a slight gramatical error)

  • Comment removed

  • i went and got my eyes checked about 2 years ago, and after the tests he just started to look really worried and just said 'please please please don't tell me you drive'.. needless to say, i needed glasses. i didnt realise everyone saw what i saw when i actually wore them, i felt like bionic or something, when in fact, i could just see like a normal person. i seriously didnt realise you were supposed to be able to see the dvd/settopbox lights/messages from the couch..:P

  • btw thats an order

  • DUDE POST SOME MORE VIDEOS

  • omg wen they do that 1 or 2 shit....its always the same :):):)

    i just choose any aswell hahahaaha

  • Comment removed

  • Wow Totally Agree WIth Ya, Clearer On One Or Two Lol! I Have Contacts Coz Im Kool Haha! Love Ya Vids! <3

  • so what was your prescription.. surely not anywhere mine.. bleh

    -6.00 hahah

  • oh my jesus i know what you mean with all that

    the whole lense 1 or 2 thing just pisses me off and then of course they dialate your eyes so its like you're basically half blind...blinder than before

  • lol, "is it beter with one or two?"

    i hate that, epsecially the fact that they look the same, so i just pick any random one.

  • if it makes you feel any better i have perfect vision n______n

  • I know you hear this all the time but you're beautiful. SORRY I had to say it.

    :]
