Are you studying to be an Optom or DO?
Hey bonitaaribum!
Thank you for your question!
I’m currently a graduate DO - graduated last Summer so I’m completing my PQP (pre-reg DO) to sit my FQEs with ABDO :) I’m also a First Year Optometry student - going into my second year in September!

“Dans le Noir?” French for “In the Dark?”
This restaurant located in central London looked ominous upon first seeing it with its blacked out windows, its menu that revealed nothing about what food choice there would be, and the ever terrifying concept of eating something that could well be anything.
Accompanied by a group of nine other people, members of the AOP and student representatives of universities were guided to our seats in the pitch black by Takeshi, a waiter who was extremely polite, friendly, helpful, and severely sight impaired/partially sighted as were all the wait staff at Dans le Noir.
The darkness was so intense that it was impossible to determine shadows of one’s hand in front of the face, and despite spending much time attempting to adjust to this darkness, it seemed impossible to. With starts in front of us when they arrived, as well as drinks, it put light and eyesight into real perspective. I could not determine whether my fork was picking up any food, whether I was drinking from my own glass, and more than all of that, what I was even eating.
Dans le Noir? is a restaurant which attempts to highlight the importance of the five sense, in particular the sense of taste and of sight. With sight completely impaired, we were left to navigate through our three course meal using taste and touch primarily, and having to improve our sixth sense of body awareness so as not to hit each other in complete darkness.
The role of an Optometrist and the importance of regular sight tests has never been highlighted so affectively to me before. Definitely worth every minute of the experience.

I was always so confused
NOBODY EVER USED THAT SPELL OUTSIDE OF THE FIRST TWO GAMES
FLIPENDO FOREVER WILL BE MY CHILDHOOD
Flipendo was a damn beast! <3 And you had to run into the books to save the game after that crappy long lecture from Nick. Duuuuude the first few games were the best, then they movied it up and made it awful. :(
