Four Eyes – non knitting related
So I finally saved up the money to get a new pair of glasses and went to get the eye exam where I usually go. They have this eye glass place right next to them that makes glasses that I used before and wasn’t happy with the glasses. The next time I took my perscription to Sams club and got my glasses made there and was soooooo happy with them. This time when I was leaving the eye doctors this girl was in there from the eye glass place next door and we started chatting up each other and got along and she wanted to help me with a pair of glasses. I told her I was going to Sams since that is where I got them before and was very happy with them. So on my way out to the car I decided too go back in and see if they could do a pair of glasses for a comprible price then I wouldn’t have to drive out to Sams. So I go back in and the same girl helps me and we come up with a similar price that Sams gave me. I told her about how the glasses from Sams and how they had this wider field of vision and asked if I could get that in the glasses here. She said yes, and gave me 20 % off then if was 30 % off and then if was 60 dollars more for the wider field of vision. So I order the glasses, they come in and I pick them up. I wear them around all day and they just arn’t right. It’s like the middle field of vision is all wrong and too low and very limited like a pin hole and then I got to hold my head up to see anything like the computer screen or when I was shopping all the stuff looked like I was looking thru a fog and they just gave me a headache. So later that day I go back and meet with the tech and tell her whats going on and she says well, that’s common for people to have headaches till they adjust to their perscription, you know you may have to move your head around to find the field of vision. As I’m looking at her I realize that she is blurry and I tell her that is where I’m having the problem and she lifts the glasses up and says can you see me now and I said yes your a little clearer so then she goes back and makes an adjustment and puts them back on my face and sitting in front of me she says can you see me now and then slides back in her wheely chair. I said you look clearer but my whole world is not on a wheely chair. I shouldn’t have to do a Katherine Hepburn move with my neck everytime I go shopping while trying to look at this and that or maybe I should be wearing roller skates. I mean give me a break. The difference between these and the pair I got from Sams is like cottage cheese and cream cheese. These are like lumpy and have spots of irregularity in them and the Sams version is smooth and clear and just better. That isn’t what I thought I was paying for. Supposedly I payed the 60 dollars more for a wider field of vision and frankly I could do just as well with a pair of readers from the dollars store compared to these.
I’m going to give them a couple days and see how they do but if they still have this type of crap going on with them then I’m just going to ask for my money back and go to Sams and get a pair. Ever since I started wearing glasses and getting different pairs from different places I just found that the pair I got at Sams was soooo much better. This isn’t an advertisement for them but maybe they just got it right the first time. I think different places use different types of technology for whatever they are doing. Anyway, there is a difference. I hope this isn’t me getting particular in my golden years but they just arn’t the same and I don’t want to pay that much for a pair of glasses I’m not happy with, Humpf, and I am unamious in that : )
