The Eye Doctor



A couple weeks ago, both of Alyson's teachers told me she was having trouble seeing the board and they thought she needed to get her eyes checked. I decided to make an appointment for both girls.
So today at 1:00 we were on our way to our appointment. We got there and Aimee decided she wanted to go first. Alyson read magazines and I studied for my entrance exam while waiting for Aimee to finish.

Finally, Aimee came out and the doctor said her vision was good and she wouldn't need any glasses. Now it was Aimee's turn to wait for Alyson. She decided that it would be fun to try on glasses.


She tried on several pair and finally Alyson comes out and the doctor says that Alyson's eyes have gotten worse since the last time she was in, and she needed to wear glasses all the time, except while reading. Alyson starts trying on several pair of glasses. Aimee is over at the sunglasses counter and finds a pair of sunglasses that she 'has to have'. I tell her maybe when we get our income tax refund I would bring her back to pick out some. The doctor overheard us talking and said, wait.... your plan allows her any frame up to 130.00 that she would like, even though she doesn't need a prescription. Since the sunglasses lense is already in the frame, she can pick out a pair and you only have to pay the difference between 130 and the total. Plus, you get 20% off of whatever the difference of the total is.

Sooooooooooooooooo..... Aimee's 157.00 sunglasses cost me 13.00 (thank you Jesus!) and Alysons glasses were free! Steve has a wonderful vision plan.

And at the end of the appointment, I had 2 happy girls!!!
