Yay for Site for Sore Eyes

I broke my glasses on Saturday. I wasn't terribly bummed out about it because I broke them playing in a jump house which has got to be one of the most fun experiences I've had lately. That plus the fact that they are two years old and it's almost time for new ones! So, I thought, why not move the date up a little and get it done now? I don't have any appts. (or so I thought -- see previous post FMI). So I called around and made an appt. with Wal-Mart for an eye exam. Shasta Professional Association wanted to charge me $150 for an eye exam. I asked her if that included glasses and she laughed at me. He he. Oops. Silly me. So, I paid $55 at Wal-Mart and got my prescription complete with dilated eyes. LOL My left eye is considerably worse than my right eye, but I love them both equally well. When I went to Site for Sore Eyes to take advantage of their $55 credit for existing eye exams with the second pair of frames free, the optician was very nice and helpful. After a few different conversations, she asked to see my broken glasses and said she could prolly fix them for me. So, as I recovered from the sticker shock of eyeglass prices, she fixed my old glasses (better than they've been in a long time, I might add) and sent me on my way for the happily paid fee of $25. Yay Site for Sore Eyes!! So, I'll save up my money and get the best features and options when I can afford it. In the meantime, I can see again!
