| - Went here to get an eye exam for new contact lenses. The eye doctor didn't like the Acuvue lenses I'd been wearing for the last ten years, and pushed me to try a different kind. They never felt comfortable, but she said they would gradually feel better. They never felt as good as my old ones, partially because she also didn't believe in using lenses especially for astigmatism, which I had always had before. Granted, I should have protested more, but the end result was that I paid $150 for an eye exam and got a prescription for contacts that I never used. It was a complete waste of money when I really didn't have any to spare. I don't know if she got a bigger kickback from the makers of the contacts she wanted me to have or what, but it was a terrible experience. Eventually, I did call and ask if they could write me the same prescription but for Acuvue lenses but was told that they couldn't do that without the doctor seeing how they were on my eyes. Ultimately, I've ended up using my last pack of 2-week acuvue disposables for a couple months for each set of lenses until I can afford another, more reputable, eye exam.
