After getting a letter saying I was due an eye exam, I decided to actually follow their advice and get an eye exam. So off to Vision Express I went intent on getting my eyes checked and nothing more. Now I’m about 900 quid down after this afternoon and this is my story.
Getting the letter I thought my eyes were the most important sense I had so I better keep them in good shape, being happy with my glasses as they are I went and had my eye checked to find there is a very very tiny change in my left eye which isn’t bad for two years of computer use.
I was eyeing (excuse the pun) up some new glasses as the frames were slightly out of shape on mine. Going through the price range I found something I liked at 350 quid. Ouch. Since it is summer and having glasses, stylish sunglasses aren’t the easiest thing to come across. Seeing oakley sunglasses now available to vision impared people like me I knew I had to get a pair. So I did, a very expensive pair at 550 euros. Since they are wrap around glasses and can’t be made up in the shop they’ve had to send off to oakley to have the lenses custom made, so in about 3 weeks I’ll have them. Am I mad? Quite possibly.
