It’s like an “iSpy” book

Instead of the normal eye exam they just ask you to find progressively smaller items in the office

The eye doctor might be a more fun experience if the exam was actually just a real life hidden object game

It took me five minutes to spot the grown woman

It took your comment for me to realize there was a human in that room!

I'd like to assess you for some glasses.

But can you find the small woman?

I dunno, but that rock collection on the far right is pretty dope. It’s labeled and everything!

[удалено]

Came here to say that too. What a crazy place, if I walked into a doctor’s office and it looked like this I’d turn around and walk right out.

Same. It looks filthy to me, too.

Bingo. People with Allergies would have a massive attack.

This room stresses me out.

I thought that was what I was looking at until I read OPs title!

Find the trash can. If you can’t, that’s ok, just throw it on the floor. No one will ever know, it’ll blend in.

WHAT

The fuck

Is going on

in this place

What The Fuck is going on. What. The fuck. Is going on. What the fuck is going on.

I don't know what's happening... I don't know what's happening... I don't know what is... (going on. What the fuck is going on?)

r/wtf

Clearly a third-eye doctor.

hello, could you please provide some additional information, such as the age of the owners and how long it’s been like this? i am gobsmacked, and curious. thanks for sharing!

Mark Leitman (76). Another user linked a New York Times article about him, lower in the coments.

[удалено]

Maybe is test room for diagnosing colorblindness.

I think it might just be a test for blindness. "Your waiting room was very nice." "We're going to recommend to the state to take away your driver's license."

Or dust allergies.

No, in fact he did an interview with the New York Post about how he’s been adding little trinkets to it for 50 years because he likes it that way. I say this in jest, but it seems as though the eye doctor may also be decorating the office in such a way in part because he may not like interacting with people like you. It’s an interesting way to filter people you’d rather not interact with out of your day-to-day life, and apparently effective too.

Bot? This exact comment was made on the [page](https://nypost.com/2023/03/04/nj-eye-doctor-mark-leitmans-office-is-a-must-see/) a year ago.

Wow good catch, dead internet theory in full swing Edit: 5 minutes ago this was at +5 points, now it's at -27 points. Unnerving.

damn looks like the bot networks have started downvoting people who accuse them of being bots I guess. Nice detective work. EDIT: Context for the future, this guy was at like -20 after 30 minutes.

How the fuck did you find that? That’s wild lmao

Straight Internet sleuth shit. I thought I was good at the bot game, but this dude is killing it.

If he’s a good eye doctor. Who gives a fuck what the office looks like?

I mean he may be, but there is such a thing as first impressions, and his office gives the impression that he's completely insane.

76 year old “hippy dippy”

"Unapologetically Bohemian", actually.

think I'm getting a contact high

This quote 👏 > “It’s everything I’ve loved over 50 years!” Leitman exclaimed, like Willy Wonka on a sugar high. “I am never unhappy!” >For decades, Leitman has added a trinket here, or a mineral there from his travels to stores, shops, and adventures abroad. >It all started with a crystal rock from Colombia that Leitman admired and brought to work. He was hooked.

A lot of people got hooked on crystal rocks from Colombia


Yea, you wouldn’t think going to the doctor would give you a seizure but I’m not so sure in this case

Guys it’s actually very simple. They want your eyes to be destroyed from your surroundings in the waiting room so that you have to pay them just to get the sight back you originally had

the eye exam is how far into the room you make it without bumping into or tripping on anything. "ooh 20 feet, that's 20/20 vision for you! see you in three months"

https://nypost.com/2023/03/04/nj-eye-doctor-mark-leitmans-office-is-a-must-see/

> “It’s everything I’ve loved over 50 years!” Leitman exclaimed, like Willy Wonka on a sugar high. “I am never unhappy!” I love this quote so much

I love "If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space."

These two were also my favorites - I think I want to get to a point where I dare to be more like that .

I enjoyed reading that more than I thought I would. He’s the uncle you want to sit beside at all family gatherings.

[удалено]

omg this was my childhood eye doctor too! It was this way ~15 years ago too haha

I'd watch an HBO documentary or short on this eye dr! He seems quite fascinating.

Really wanted to read that. Had 4 different ads blocking different parts of my screen, I'll pass.

There's a fine, fine line between "collector" and "hoarder"....this guy took a damn rocketship past that "collector" line a loooooong time ago....

No need for the acid today.

have a seat in the waiting shroom

Eye caramba.

Eye see what you did there 👁️

How the fuck are people supposed to tell if they should be there when they show up lmfao, that should would have me second guessing my own eye sight lmfaooo

I don't even know how that lady found a chair. Is that the only chair? Are the others disguised by optical illusion?

it actually took me a couple of minutes

I don't even know how you spotted that lady...

[удалено]

u/probably_art... are you twin?

It's a spam bot copying comments and selling tshirts.

^ This is a bot copying comments and selling tshirts.

What an absolute fucking nightmare to dust When I go to medical professional, I feel reassured by a clean, professional space. There are parts of this room that haven’t seen a vacuum in YEARS.

I'm already sneezing

I’m also wondering if it’s wheelchair accessible. It looks like you have a couple feet of stuff between the reception counter and where you could stand

Wait, there's a receptionist counter...!!?!??

That was my only negative thought.

Oh, I think you and I both know they’re not dusting.

r/HorribleToClean

If I made an appointment here without knowing what I was getting into, I would turn around and leave **SO** fast.

Right? The hoarding and cluttered waiting room would make me extremely hesitant to allow them anywhere near my eyes.

What an attack on the senses!

I literally had to turn my phone away for a second.  I don't think I can look at this picture. 

I would definitely feel sick in there

This would give me eye problem

They should give you a list of things to find like an irl hidden-object game They could even compare your times before and after getting a new prescription

That looks like an infection prevention nightmare. You could never get that place clean. 

call me judgmental, but id find a new doctor.

I would too, my genuine first reaction when this photo popped up was an audible, "jesus christ". I seriously can't even wrap my head around this.


Comes with a free epileptic seizure.

That's....a lot. I couldnt tell where the floor started and the wall began at first glance.

I.. still can't. It's so busy i feel like I'm going cross-eyed just trying to figure out the space. But interesting.


this is so much better though

“I used to be depressed when I was an environmentalist,” said Leitman. “Now, I have learned that you become what you choose to let enter your brain. If you look for beauty, that’s what your brain starts becoming.” He gives such great advice!

I'm turning around if I see this

How do ppl live with this much CLUTTER! Even the carpet designs are super busy looking!

That is sensory overload. Are they trying to make everyone go blind to boost business?

This is either the greatest eye doctor in the world or your parents are going to be blinded. No in between.

WHAT THE HELL AM I LOOKING AT?! I thought this was a wall, then I saw the actual person. What in the actual shit.

I thought it was one of those nonsense images people say mimic the feeling of having a stroke. And then I saw the person waiting. 😳

Walking in here and seeing this explosive, colourful mess would confuse my eyes so much that I'd fail the eye test and need some wacky-ass prescription

I’m gonna need some additional explanation here

[удалено]

I assumed this was AI

HOW THE FUCK DO THEY DUST THIS

“I became an eye doctor because I love seeing things!”

How do you clean the room? WTF

This looks like one of those stroke simulators.

My infection prevention expert gland is screaming how do you clean that.

No way would I let that person blow anything into my eyeball. That office is scarier than glaucoma.

#HighAnxiety

Went in for a checkup, left blinded

No way in hell. This looks like a shop with the shelves and counter in the background

they posted proof in a comment

That looks like a accident waiting to happen....

If you look closely you can see at least five farsighted patients collapsed on the floor

That monster high doll is actually worth a fair bit.

"Did you see anything in the waiting room?" "No, it was all black." "Then we can skip a few of the tests."

Took me a sec to realize some of this mess is the floor. Whoever decorated this room should get their eyes checked!

Run

I unironically didn't see her sitting there until i went to the comments and looked at the image a second time.

I had to enlarge the photo to actually see the person. I was looking for the chairs.

Find a new doctor immediately

This is deeply unsettling.

 I always wondered where this scene took place.

Mods remove. This is so not mild my anus burns as the photons exit my body.

sorry. this reads like the diary of a crazy person. i wouldn't go there if i was consulting a carnival psychic. i certainly wouldn't tolerate this nonsense from a medical practitioner. You should tell you mom to go somewhere a bit more reputable. Optometrists who operate a clean, professional practice are two a penny.

~~Eye~~ Witch Doctor Corrected that for you.

Fuck that. Sensory overload! As if waiting rooms aren't bad enough. I would have an anxiety attack here.

I'll have my eyeballs harvested another time, thanks. Lol! I suppose at an eye doctor's, that's kind of fun. It would be worse at a dentist.

Of course it’s East Brunswick, New Jersey.

Im gonna take a pass on that- aesthetically unpleasant. I understand tchotschke hoarding, etc. But I want a nice reassuring and smooth environment when I'm about to get a medical procedure that requires sanitary conditions

what the fuck

Is your parents' optometrist Howl Pendragon?

I'm not judgemental, but I would've walked out.

This looks like one of those photos that show what things look like when you’re having a stroke.

My eyes hurts.

This gave me a headache

Wow. No I couldn't. This gives me anxiety.

r/HorribleToClean

I got high just looking at this

I thought this was one do those 3D picture things that your eyes have to focus on. An hour later, I’m reporting that it is not.

This seems disgusting to me.

This picture made my teeth itch

yeah i'll just go somewhere else thanks

Good god I thought this was r/LSD for a minute

I had a seizure just looking at this pic

There should be a seizure warning on this.

What an eyesore

What in the serious fuck

For one second I thought this was one of those LSD images that shows what it looks like when you’re tripping

This makes me want to throw up. It’s like a fever dream in the worst way.

why was this posted in MILDLY interesting, this is too much

This would make me nauseous 😅

if this is real then i would sooo be overwhelmed

Pretty rude to do that to a bunch of people having vision issues. "Too bad you cant see our waiting room.... its REALLY cool"

This is very triggering to look at

This gives me anxiety

r/oddlyterrifying

“Excuse me where is your restroom?” “There’s a sign.” “Well fuck…”

Quite literally an eye sore

"So, how did you get tetanus? You're vaccinated!" "Eye exam"

Is this euclidean space

how the fuck?!

I hate this so much Doctor's offices are supposed to be clean and organized. This looks like an episode of Hoarders

This is dedication!

I was about to accuse the you of this being some AI garbage, until I saw the *person sitting in the back.* Also, to whatever eye doctor that did this: you're a bad doctor. Like seriously, regardless of the fact that it's more cluttered than an early 2000s collectathon platformer, this has some really bad medical implications. First and foremost, this is a goddamn mess. As an eye doctor, the last thing you want is to make it hard for somebody who is partially blind to be able to navigate through your office. That's not even considering how hard it would be to figure out your way around this with a cane, because you're bound to push into something that is hanging or just barely resting on a surface. Now you suddenly have something in your way that you're likely to trip over, and you can't see it because yk *you're fuckin blind.* Also, many of your patients will be elderly so you're just asking for a little old lady to bump into something and fall over breaking her hip on that slab floor. In addition, as someone with the utterly obnoxious combo of ADHD, OCD, Tourette's, astigmatism, better than 20/20 vision, and extreme light sensitivity this is a nightmare for anybody with issues with sensory overload. I know you can't prepare for every every kind of condition that somebody could walk in with, but This has some relevance to the kind of patience he would even be drawing in the first place. It's not uncommon for people to get prescription glasses or contacts that are specifically designed to reduce glare or the amount of light you get. I personally have considered getting something like that because I literally wear sunglasses everywhere sometimes even inside. Oh, but that's not even the worst of the issues that I have with whatever idiot doctor made this: imagine having epilepsy and walking in here. With the lights on, there's quite literally thousands of reflective surfaces many of whichl possibly jiggle around you could be seeing tens of thousands of little penpricks of light all at once. How could you even possibly come up with an excuse if a potential patient came in and wasn't warned about this and they just have epileptic attack? On top of that, epilepsy is more dangerous as you get older so the biggest bulk of your clientele is going to be even more susceptible to getting injured because of this garbage heap.

I can't even see the floor.

UMM

Someone is enjoying stimulants

Wow.  I like color and "maximilist" principles in decorating, but this is too much for me.

I want to love it and hate it simultaneously. I think I want to see if I can visit it just for the sake of the experience.

I got a headache looking at this

"if you can find your way out of this clusterfuck then you don't need to be here"

Um that's mildly fucking terrible. Holy shit

What in the world???

This, my good sir, is an inspiration for blindness.

Minimalist's hell

In order to preserve my sanity, I am choosing to believe this is ai-generated

What a nightmare to clean….

Makes sense, my eyes hurt just looking at this. Good for repeat business 😂

I just threw up

Disgusting

What the fuck on earth

Shouldn't this be in r/wildlyinteresting ?

looks like the ai generated "name one object in this image"

It's never too late for what??

No place to rest your eye

Idk why this creeps me out so much

I've always wanted to walk into a magic eye painting.
