| - I wore glasses between the ages of 2-11, and contacts between the ages of 11-15, so I've been to quite a few eye doctors. Although I was told I'd wear glasses for my entire life because my condition was not reversible, God gave me a pass and I ended up with 20/25 vision out of the blue and I stopped going to eye doctors for a long time.
New year means new insurance, so the whole family went in for a check up today (01/03/10.) The wait was a little bit but not too bad. The doctor and her assistants were nice and my appointment breezed on by. Turns out, my eyes are still perfectly fine.
Apparently insurance covers sunglasses, even if they're not prescription, so the doctor told me to get a pair. The thing is, not one pair of sunglasses is priced to be completely covered by insurance, which I found annoying. When I found out that the Coach sunglasses I tried on would mean a $50 out of pocket payment and the Kate Spade sunglasses would be a $25 out of pocket payment, I skipped on sunglasses all together because I can get some for like, $5 at Forever 21. My sister had to get some legit prescription glasses and they only had 2 metal frames covered completely by insurance, and they were purple-ish. Ummm... whatever. They could definitely use some more selection of (sun)glasses in a lower price point.
I'll probably be back.
