New Eyeglasses

It's been several years since I have had new glasses and thought it was time to get new spectacles.  I went to vision works last night and was very impressed with the staff.

When I made the initial appointment I let them know I was a person with a disability, and used a power wheelchair for mobility.  Exam rooms are typically very small and I cannot transfer into another chair for the exam. I have to take the eye test in my wheelchair.

The doctor and staff were very accommodating from the moment I entered the store.    They assisted me with filling out the forms and  moved the standard chair in the exam room prior to my arrival , making wheelchair access extremely easy. 

I picked out two pair of glasses, one for every day, and a pair of sunglasses.   Normally they can make glasses in one hour, but I have a pretty tricky prescription. 

I could have stayed the extra hour and picked up my sunglasses but my regular glasses will not be available till next week.      So I chose just to wait and I will pick up both pair next week,  pictures will follow.
