    It might sound a bit harsh and be uncomfortable to do but if that happens another time before you leave ask them to write it again. Tell them you can’t read what they’ve written.

    That’s seriously bad. If they’re good people they’ll rewrite it and apologise. If they get arsey… move opticians. Fuck them.

      They’re not allowed to do that after a year. They’re required by law to do a fresh eye exam every year, even though my eyes are basically stable over 5 years…

        That’s fair, but I was talking about when they first write and hand the piece of paper to you. Much easier to get it corrected straight away. Although I must admit I would feel a bit embarrassed asking them as well 😂.

          You, or someone else is paying for that prescription. There is nothing to be ashamed of in asking them to provide something readable.

          My eye doctor is a very strange person as she uses that very novel piece of high tech called a computer and a printer, and never writes a prescription by hand. Oddly enough, nobody has difficulty reading what she writes :p

          Maybe I blocked too much information. These current glasses I have came from COVID lockdown time, from Walmart, and I’ve already cashed in on the warranty just a couple weeks before it expired.

          Fuck Walmart glasses, they’re shit.
