Well I have very sore eyes this morning. I lost my varifocals the other wek,no lines I think they are called here. Having checked on the price of an eye exam and varifocals here, I decided no way and found myself in Wallmart picking up a pair of reading specs. off te shelf.
I am mortified that I ended up doing that but I had rung my ex business partner,and asked him to look up my old prescriotion, and make me up a new set. He was more than happy to do so, bless him.
I just could not wait any longer though, even with every light in the house on and my book as far away as my arms would stretch, I still could not read.
I will have to wait though as my eyes are really sore this morning.I do at least feel vindicated, for all the yera I spent telling my patients not to buy them . They really do hurt, unless both your eyes are the same and mine aren't.
What a state of affairs though, Optometrist, with off the shelf specs.
