About a year or so ago, the VA apparently changed contractors /switched from in house to a contractor/whatever for the production of prescription glasses. Last year’s pair was marginal . This year’s? Not good quality. So on Wednesday I picked up a copy of my prescription to get another pair made.
in the pastI have used the Lens Crafters in Emeryville. This year? Well let me just leave it either way I obviously wasn’t as important as the various people’s phones or later customers coming in. I gave up and left.
lightbulb went off in my head. Costco. Not that far from the house, i had sen the optical shop and it couldn’t be worse.
instead? Lovely woman helped me, found frames in two sections that were both reasonable in price and small enough to fit my face and had me done in 15 minutes.
7-10 days is what she said.
From there, I just went home.
