When Were My Eyes Last Checked? - On Buying Single Vision Glasses

 


I saw the optometrist today. He asked, "When were your eyes last checked?" I said, alarmed, "Never! They have always been green."

I actually tried that on one  eye doctor, and he could not stop laughing. I added the famous one, where someone was asked to read the bottom line of the eye chart. "Read it? I know him!"

I settled on single vision for the computer and the broadcast. The final bill was $550, whittled down to $17.50 after the Aetna Medicare  plan applied its credits. The non-prescription sunglasses started at $180 so I asked for the paper ones for the drive home.
