  1. I got my glasses where my daughter works at Eyemart Express.
    I had to wait till the next Tuesday for the eye doctor.
    This is their busiest time when all the health benefits expire. including mine.
    my eye appointment took over 2 hours of waiting. Then she pulled a trick and blurred my left eye.
    I can block right eye myself and see fine out of the left. no matter. If she was trying to scare me it didn’t work.
    I purposely didn’t get the anti glare coating which would have delayed them. since I don’t drive anymore.
    my daughter brought them home to me that night.
    same prescription as my old glasses almost.
    I got big ones but it was a mistake because the bifocal is too low and tiny. and they slip down my nose. but they’re ok for a spare.
