Last year I went to Walmart optometrist for glasses. They closed and just kept the vision center, no eye exams. I went to a private local place by my house this morning. Vision has been getting worse, having to increase font size, can't see road sizes as clearly, etc.
This place with all these 5 star rating, the owner/Dr was a condescending bitch. Forcing me to read completely blurry letters. I say I don't know, it's blurry. I can see a shape, that's all. She says guess anyway. So I have a 33% chance of guessing Q, C or O...maybe G, so 25%? Anyway, she completely dismissed symptoms. $140 later, I get the prescription. Doesn't look right, so I go home and compare it to my current prescription. It's HALF the strength of what I'm wearing now that isn't cutting it.
I go back up there with my current prescription paper and they completely blow me off. Sometimes yours eyes just get better they say. Whose fucking eyes get better in their 40s while their astigmatism gets slightly worse?
Her: We suggest you fill the prescription and see how that works for you, then we'll trouble shoot from there.
Me: So your suggestion is to pay a few hundred dollars, several hundred if I ordered from you, to get glasses that are half as strong as the ones right now while I need to lean forward and increase the font to see the computer clearly. And you think that's a good use of money to buy weaker glasses for weaker version. Seems a little counter intuitive doesn't it?
Her: Changes in vision affect people in different ways.
Me: If the prescription is weaker, shouldn't my taking my glasses off lead to less blurriness and not more, meaning my stronger glasses than the ones you're prescribing would work better than weaker ones?
She just kept repeating the same stupid, illogical shit. Basically, she was just telling me to fuck off, it doesn't matter if they fucked up.
