The Eye Doctor

Tweet

I went to the eye doctor this morning and the people were real nice except for the nurse. She came out and got me asked me some health questions. Then she had me look through the machine at letters and took me to another room where she told me that she had to put drops in my eyes to dilate them. I asked her if it was going to hurt and she said no. It immediately started burning and I stopped her. She proceeded to get nasty with me and snapped at me to put my head back because they didn't get in my eye. I said, " No! If the drops didn't get in then why is my eye burning?" She said, "Well you are not going to get examined today, because we can't unless you get dilated!" I told her I never had that issue before and you told me it wasn't going to hurt and it did. She took me in another room and told me the doctor would be in and tell me if I could be examined or not. Lies! She just told me that I couldn't be! The doctor came in and showed me what the dilation does and he said or she can take a picture. So I said ok, the picture will be fine. Then after we walk out in the hallway he tells me that I will have to pay $45 for the picture. I don't have 45 cents! Seriously! So he said that I had to sign a waiver and he would examine me. So I did. He told me the best glasses for me are bifocals which will help for regular vision, my phone and driving. And for me to keep using my readers for the computer use. However the prescription was written and given to me it is in their system because the lens' MUST be gotten from my supplemental insurance company. The lady wrote down the price for me and showed me the frames I could chose from, which was many. It will cost me almost $80, which isn't bad! And I asked her after I pay how long will it take for me to get them and she said about 14 days.
