annuinNothing like being on the verge of opening up the brand new containers bearing the fortnight's contacts, and realising that the idiot shop assistant at the store gave you DOUBLE your prescription strength. I guess maybe wearing -4.00 instead of -2.00 and getting drunk might be an interesting trip, but for daily wear, kind of obnoxious and not very practical.
Of course I had just thrown out the previous pair too, moments before grabbing the new ones and realising the error.
Luckily for me, when I got my prescription renewed the other week, they were 3 boxes short which I picked up earlier this week from the actual optometrist herself, not the shop assistant. And, thankfully, the optometrist can read and gave me my proper prescription.
To top it off, when I went to the store earlier to go exchange them, Lenscrafters was actually closed too *headdesk*.
At any rate, I'm thinking the shop assistant might need reading glasses...
