You may think that if you’re going to the eye doctor to get a pair of glasses, that you won’t need to answer any questions about your contacts. You would be wrong.

Be prepared to answer silly questions like: What kind of contacts do you wear? (Who pays attention!) And what’s your prescription? (No clue!) Can you give me any numbers from the prescription? (Um, 700? No? No such thing as 700? Then no, sorry.)

Also, they will ‘fit’ you for contacts, even though you’re only getting glasses, without asking or telling you. And it will you cost you an extra $15. And no, insurance doesn’t cover that.

However, when the doctor says “Wow, you sure have the blue eyes huh?” all will be forgiven.

I haven’t gotten a blue eyes comment in awhile. Felt good. And I ordered a pair of glasses! Photos to come.
