Weirdness at Boots
« on: March 14, 2014, 11:04:30 AM »
Eye test.

Blow air in my eyes: check
Take flash photos of my eyes: check
Get me counting dots: check
Decide on varifocals: check
Choose spec for second "free" pair: check

Boots give their frames names. Mine are called Ronnie  rubschin:. I am getting two pairs  rubschin:

I have to go back on the 25th and collect the two Ronnies  rubschin:

I bet the other pair is called Reggie. Probably the frame will already be bent as well.

Top tip at Boots:  don't take the free second pair and the nice lady manager gives you cash back

Well it works for me and Mrs K anyway.  Got £75 last two times

Ask Boots if you can have a magic varifocal pair like mine that work at home and in the car.



PS do not go for varifocal contact lenses.  Effin too much effin trouble (for her and my wallet)
