Funny thing about eyesight …….. I like it.
I was using an old pair of glasses for the last six months or more. I was using them because my most recent prescription glasses broke – really broke and were very scratched.
Now I need to tell you about the prescription. I have been wearing progressive lens for several years now. They help me to both see distance and read up close with no lines as in bifocals. I adjusted quickly to them when I first started wearing them.
Well, about five years ago I got a new pair – the ones that are now scratched and broken. Yes, five years ago. THAT IS BAD. I do not know why I waited this long. I came to the place that the burning eyes, when on the computer, were unbearable.
So, head down, I walked into the local Target Optical, where I bought the last pair, and had an eye exam. Thankfully, they did not yell at me or shame me. I did enough of that to myself. They did, however, already make me an oppointment for next year – without asking me. I took that as the “yelling”.
After handing over a minor fortune – on sale, mind you – I waited for the day they came into the shop. I sent my husband to pick them up, thinking I would go in for an adjustment when this “bug” of a cold finally left my body. Well, a week later, bug and all, I went in to say I can’t use my iPhone or laptop – I cannot adjust my eyesight. Haven’t posted a blog in a while .
Well, after sitting there with a lovely, young lady for about twenty minute, she realized that the original measurements taken for my eyesight to work with progressive lens, was wrong. She re-measured and ordered new lens! I CAN SEE! I CAN SEE!
Moral of the story is ——- do not neglect your health in any way. Get those eye exams regularly.
Did I mention that I CAN SEE???????
Enjoy!

It’s so nice to have you back! I’m glad you can see again! 🙂
hehehe 🙂 .. That’s very good now… I appreciate that you realized health is wealth ..
And welcome back Cate.. missed you here.
Thank you Afsheen.
You are most welcome.
I’ve got progressives, and I wish I’d stuck with bifocals. My progressives are hopeless for reading.
Oh no! You should have them checked – they may have measured wrong – that’s what my first sales gal did – the second one got it spot on.
The optician said they were right – but they did give me a free pair of reading glasses
Well that’s good. Sorry they didn’t work out. 😦
You’re back in your element…WTG!
😀
the original measurements were taken by this very optical shop? glad you can see and is posting again 🙂
Yes – the lady who took them originally realized what she did wrong – which was good. They have satisfaction guaranteed so I was planning on camping there until they got it right and me satisfied. LOL
Ha! Funny post. I went through a similar experience this week, but instead of my eyes, it was with my teeth… not pleasant and a little painful…. going to the dentist is expensive, but the longer we wait, the more expensive it is! I wish I’d gone sooner! Just glad now that I finally went.
so sorry to hear about that – our bodies – sigh. Have to get along with them. LOL
Thank you for the follow. 😀
