Oh well i just went to an eyeglass store to check my eyes and well after the exam the doctor said I should get the thinnest frames and ar protection then the employees kept trying to get me to buy there glasses and when I just ask to have the prescription it seem they were unhappy and kept asking me why I wouldn't buy it there and offering discounts when I told them to just give me the prescription I thought maybe they wouldn't write down the right numbers and when I compare it to an old prescription the numbers seem off I plan to see an Optometrist that doesnt have such a close connection to a glasses store
