Had a lady walk in with -20.00 both eyes
2023, I worked at the mall for the summer and we had a lady come in everyday with -20.00. It was a shocker not only due to the prescription, but also due to the fact, that the lenses were 1.50, popping out of the frame, and looked like literal ice cubes supported by plastic. She would tie the glasses around her head, because they’d just fall all the time. She couldn’t afford new ones, due to not being able to work, and insurance doesn’t cover the glasses for her. She would come in to chat, get the glasses cleaned, have a coffee and spend a bit of time in the salon. I still think about her occasionally.
