Zenni problem - Glasses wearers

[pomtzu]

It is surprising, to me. I have been to that practice for close to 30 years. I had/have an opportunity to save close to $175.00. I wasn't cheating him, I wasn't dishonest, I wasn't doing anything 'wrong'. I would expect him to treat me the same as he would if I had an eye exam and didn't need new glasses.

I spent, including shipping, $24.75. Even if I only like the glasses 'ok', I still think it is a bargain. I got two pairs of those clip on sunglasses, which is thrilling to me. In all my years of wearing glasses, I have never had sunglass ability. I wore contacts and had cheap-o sunglasses, but never had the ability to wear my glasses with sun coverage.

I didn't mean that you did anything wrong or underhanded - just that some doctors are in it for every penny that they can get. Which I find surprising too, since so many people now get their prescription and take it to Lens Crafters or some similar place, and most doctors don't have a problem with that. Can't say it's a good idea tho, since those places seldom get the script correct - as I found out the hard way - twice!!!

I knew you weren't implying anything about me. As if. But, it really is surprising to me. The 30 year relationship tarnished over $175? That is a lot of money to me, probably not nearly as much to him and his lovely new space, 16 employees, etc.

I got the new glasses, and they did need some adjusting, and I took it to the optician that works at my optometrists' office, and he adjusted them and they work! Yay!

I am SO waiting for mine to be delivered. I ordered them on the 21st of April. When I inquired yesterday, they were made, but not yet back to zenni for shipping to moi! ANXIOUS!
