Specs-Saver Yeah!

Dr McGuire gave me a new insight today... Dr McGuire suggested to me that my headaches might have been due to ill-fitting glasses (yes... we are still on the topic of my mysterious eye-pain and headaches). So I put the theory to the test and got down to the opticians 30 minutes after she suggested so. :>

Vision Express was the one that gave me the 4pm appointment. They endeavour to get people's glasses ready in 1 hour. I thought it could be on the expensive side. I was in favour of testing the glasses theory out and getting this horrid headache out of the way. so I said 'yes' to the appointment.

On my way down, I passed by Spec-Savers with large posters saying 30% discount for students... my heart was itching to go into the shop and enquire, but I went ahead to Vision Express.

Then a 'good' bad thing happened :p I got to Vision express at 4.05pm and this lady (not in too good a tone of voice) said to me,' you are late, we've given the appointment to some one else.' I politely took a card intended for me to ring in for a new appointment tomorrow, and hurried back to Spec-savers.

Specs-saver was amazing... I went in at 4.10pm and they gave me an appointment for 4.20pm. This was despite it being busy and near closing time. :> The staff were really friendly and had my eye examination, glasses, and anti-reflectant coated lens done, under 100 pounds. I thought that was pretty good. I'm getting them new glasses tomorrow afternoon. :>

I'm still not too sure if ill-fitted glasses were the source of my pain... but at least I got my bum moving round to getting new glasses (long over-dued, especially needed for my driving lessons starting Thursday :p). My current glasses not only have accompanied me for 4 odd years, bu also faithfully endured a washing machine test and numerous times getting crushed in my bags... Even though I have the utmost respect for its stamina, I unfortunately have lost trust in its abilities.

Looking forward to my new glasses tomorrow :>
