How to get my eyes checked by Triniprincess

"Great"

How I did it: I called the day before to find out if you had to make an appointment, which you do but the guy said you can walk in if you like but he's not sure now long you'll have to wait, which was understandable. I woke up, walked in, told them what I was there for and waited about 15 minutes if so long then went in and took the test!

Lessons & tips:

  • Don't stress you probably are not as bad as you seem.
  • Be truthful to yourself and the optometrist about your condition and what you really can see without squinting.

Resources:

  • Telephone directory
  • Optometrist

jillbrowne is sticking to the list.

It took me
10 days
It made me
happy!

How I did it: Two steps - the eye exam and the getting of the glasses.  For the eye exam, I simply made an appointment and showed up.  Had to plan for a ride home as the eye exam I get includes using drops to dilate my pupils, and that means no driving.  No problem.Took the prescription to a dispensary I like and picked out my new frames. Takes a week or so to get teh new glasses.  All good. Read how I did it…

    Happy Gavroche! Queen of Cheese! Toe socks!!!!

    Not gonna do this.... 2 months ago

    Because I’m noticing that my eyes are okay in the early part of the morning… and it’s right around late afternoon that they start to go blurry and then by 10pm (now) they are just completely out of focus. This is clearly eye strain. And methinks if I just use my reading glasses properly this will solve the problem. I just need to start really using them. All day.

    Happy Gavroche! Queen of Cheese! Toe socks!!!!

    I need to do this soon... 2 months ago

    Because I’ve been reading and writing this weekend and using my eyeballs to excess… and gah. Such a headache I have now. Right behind each of my eyeballs.

    But I can’t use the eye doctor that I’ve been going to…. because the last time I went they gave me a perscription for driving glasses and reading glasses… but COME ON!!! I clearly need a perscription for All The Time Glasses. (Yes. There is such a thing. Why? Because I’m the Queen of Cheese!) Anyways… who wears glasses just when they’re driving and then just when they’re reading??? Gah. Idjits.

    So tomorrow when I’m at work…. ermmmmmm…. I mean…. when I have a chance (snerk) I’mma look up a new eye doctor.

    Triniprincess doesn't have enough time in the day.

    Done!! 9 months ago

    And it seems it’s not as bad as I thought (all in the state of mind). I have a slight near-sightedness but nothing to be worried about I was told. My eyes are in great health but the light that bothers me will make me wear glasses later now if I don’t protect them (eyes) now. So I’m going back to get a prescribed sunglasses or one of those transition lens which I find totally cool :)

    Astigmatism. 14 months ago

    I finally got my eyes checked. My prescription is stronger (of course!) and I finally got the right kind of contacts for astigmatism. Less halos at night, and I can see clearly now!

    Once upon a time I got a pair of glasses. Once upon a time plus two weeks, I lost my new glasses. I have been without a prescription for about 5 years now. I need to fix this.
