I CAN SEE AGAIN!!!! I don't think anyone knows how happy & excited I am now that I can see again (with glasses, that is).
It's been four years since I last got an eye exam and I've been using the same glasses ever since. And yes, over the years my vision has gotten worse. I mean, all I do is stare at a computer screen all day at work so it has gotten a lot worse. I finally went to get an eye exam with my optometrist and got my prescription, went to the optical shop that my insurance takes and shortly found out that I haven't been qualified for vision through my job because I didn't make enough hours. Being the fact that I needed glasses NOW, I decided to just pay out of pocket and went into LensCrafters.
We were greeted as soon as we walked in by Roger who ended up helping me. I took forever to browse through the different frames that they have here, name brand and all....and I mean I took forever cause I'm VERY indecisive, haha. He kind of got an idea on what kind of style I liked, then went ahead and picked out a few for me to try out. And guess what...I ended up liking one of them so I went ahead with it. He briefly went over the different kinds of lens that they have, and I opted for the one with the anti-glare and anti-scratch cause I remember him telling me that it's the best one they have for me, cause it'll help me not strain my eyes as much when I'm on the computer...so being the fact that I stare at a computer screen all day, I was sold! Especially with the fact that it was only $60 difference for that lens and the other one, even more I was sold, haha. I figure I might as well get it since I'm gonna be using these glasses most of the time! But Roger was not pushy at all, listened to everything I said, was very knowledgeable of what they had to offer, patient, and very friendly! But while I was being helped by Roger, I couldn't help but to overhear Carlos (another employee) interact with his customers and he was just as good! So I say that if anything, Roger and Carlos is the go-to guys over here!
Luckily, my prescriptions were simple enough and was told that my glasses would be ready in about an hour, and that they would text me when it was ready for pickup. COOL! I mean, it really shows that technology is really steppin' their game up! So my fiancé and I went ahead and ate dinner, then did a little shopping (but more window shopping) as we waited, then a little over an hr later, we were notified that they were ready. Roger went ahead to see if they fit me the best they could, and I was SO happy that I could see again...like I could read everything that was across the store. I also opted in the insurance which is DEAAALS! So yeah, it tends to get pricey (especially if you're like me and got name brand...which I think I deserved) but so worth it, they give the gift of sight!..with glasses, of course, haha! read more
