On Thursday, January 21, I had my eyes examined and bought new glasses, prescription sun glasses and reading glasses. The exam, lenses and frames came to a total of $525.
This was the first eye exam I have had in two years. Recently I have noticed the right eye isn't corrected well at all any more -- very fuzzy. The prescription for the left eye is nearly perfect, however.
I have been seeing this optician for several years and have always received good service. But . . . this time there was a new technician and I thought the young man was distracted and hard to communicate with.
Today I went in to pick up my new glasses. There were problems. For all three pairs of glasses, the lenses for my right eye appear to be from the old prescription. And the clear lenses I asked for were deep brown.
I sent her a letter explaining all the details. I wanted to avoid having to tell my story over and over to her staff before I could tell her directly. A few days later she called and said I should see her when the replacement glasses arrive. I did and two more times as well.
Today, my fifth trip to the optician's office, I finally got the remaining glasses and visually they are fine. Not perfect, but fine.
What a bother. I figure the young man sent the wrong instructions to the lab. The next time I need new glasses I will find a new eye doctor.
