Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned...and baby I'm LIVID.
First off, this is a walmart optometrist office. People go there because they want to save a few bucks. I wasted $90 there, plus money I spent on a babysitter. I was on my last pair of contacts and had been wearing them wayy too long, which I take full responsibility for. However, this was right after we moved cross country, didn't even have a place to live for a few weeks, and my eyes weren't hurting so I was a little busy focusing on more important things.
The eye doctor treated me like an irresponsible teenager and refused to give me the contacts I wanted, the ones I have always worn, because she thought I'd get into the habit of wearing them too long. She also got my prescription wrong, and I had to go back for multiple follow ups. I question her abilities as an optometrist because at each follow up she retested my vision, and each time my prescription changed. I knew -5 was just too good to be true...my last was -7. Each brand of contacts she had me sample hurt my eyes really bad, and on the 3rd try we finally found some that worked ok...still not my favorite because I prefer the 2 weeks (they are thinner).
When my vision insurance finally kicked in I tried to take my prescription to Lens Crafters, but was told all I had was the glasses prescription. Walmart never actually gave me my contacts prescription. I assumed it would be on the same paper as my glasses one but I expect way too much of people at Walmart to do their jobs correctly. I went back to walmart to get the contacts prescription and they did not have the right one on their files! It's like every time I went back to follow up they never corrected their files, and never gave me anything. I was so livid at this point...$90 totally wasted. I'm making my eye appointment with Lens Crafters soon to have everything re-done...and I'm especially pissed about that stupid air puff thing I have to do again. Screw walmart and their overpriced eye doctors! read more
