Recently I brought my father in for an eye exam and glassesAs soon as we walked in, a gentleman took my father to a machine that measures for glassesThen took him in for an eye examOnce done, he was sent back into main room and tried on different glassesUnfortunately none improved his vision compared to what he hasWith that my father and I walked outThe optician was alone with my mother and it was then that he said to her that the measuring machine was $& not covered under Medicare/Medicaid
There are things wrong here - we should have been advised of the cost PRIOR to the use of the machine AND that the optician told my mother to "order the glasses and just swap them with the old pair because he'll probably never notice"My mother got nervous & charged the fifty and told me the next dayJust because people are in there eighties does not mean they are senile or stupidHis attitude was unconscionable for both charging the fifty and for saying something like that
I wrote to his office and asked for a refund on July ** and got no response - not even an apologyIt is now Sept ** - shame on him and for the doctor associated with him
