Do check your eyes health to avoid sight deterioration and extra charges. Yes you read that right.
Specsavers is making me pay dearly for not sticking to every 2 years eye check.
So, it happened that for months now I have been having frontal headaches. I blamed less sleep as I barely get good sleep for some time of recent. However, I made sure I got like 5 good hours of sleep for 3 days but no much difference.
Then, I thought it could be my glasses that are due for replacement.
I booked an appointment and opted for the OCT scan. They had said the scan would show what can happen in the next 4 years.
Do I really wanna know what will happen in 4yrs time? I want to simply enjoy life😊
That’s isn’t entirely true. I do want to know.
The scan showed that the retina and various layers in the eyes were intact.
However, the measurements showed my prescriptions have changed.
It normally change slightly and I get new glasses all the time but this time it was different.
This time, the left eye prescription is different from the right eye one. The prescriptions were headed for the roof and the thickness was so much.
They said thinning can be done.
That was the main deal.
I had to thin each glasses. I had never had to thin any of my glasses in the past except for the add on for improved reading and reduction of rays from pc and phones.
To thin each frame is £105
I already got two frame; as a deal of get one and another pair free.
I’m gonna pay for thinning 2 glasses, eye test fee and one eye glasses. Oh! They gave me eye drop for dry eyes this time. I have known about the dry eyes for long time now. The reason I only wore contact lenses just on my wedding day.
Really?, I asked?
The charge for the two is more than the cost my glasses.
Now, one of the girls has black dents where her glasses on sits on her face. She told me it was due to a heavier lens she had not thinned.
I reluctantly and hurriedly paid for the thinning. Very unfortunate.
I felt robbed.
I guess they came up with that strategy to make me pay for not patronising every 2years.
Now, I know I will meet them soonest in 24 months time before I pay for what-i-do-not-know.
In other news, check your eyes health as recommended. If you don’t, you will have to pay the price.f you like this post, please comment, share and subscribe to my blog.
