Ugh, that’s a mess. I hope you’re able to get the glasses you need soon. I probably need to upgrade mine, as I haven’t had them checked out in nearly 12 years.

I wish, I get new ones every year for the past 16 yrs, each one stronger. Get another refraction on the 9th, then more waiting, to see if it will stay stable. To top it off the left eye burns constantly and has for 16 years, thanks to the nicked nerve. The Othomologist is setting up a Refraction Specialist with an eye toward Lasix to correct the left eye’s horrid vision that glasses no longer can correct. Medicare/Tricare Life won’t cover even a needed medical procedure that is considered cosmetic. They can’t even piggy back the bad cataract lens, and removing and replacing it is not viable it would leave me blind in that eye. Not far from it now. That won’t happen before Christmas at the rate they are moving.
