First place I ever been to that has you see a tech. first to discuss what type of contacts you want when you haven't even seen the Dr. & you don't know if you need astigmatism, daily, extended or if you can even use color or not. The tech. is extremely hard to understand her English is terrible. She kept telling me to pick the contacts I want that she can not tell me what to get. I asked her few times how do I know what contacts I can use if I have not seen the Dr. I sat in 2 waiting areas then finally saw the Dr. who barley spoke. He gave me a sample pair of contacts to try for a wk. On my way out I had to pay $130 for 6mo supply of contacts that I never ordered. I did NOT want to pay for the contacts until I ordered them but they said I had to pay upfront. After a wk my left contact was really bothering me I went back explained to the tech. my eye was very irritated it felt like I had something in it & re wetting drops was not helping. She said it was a defect in the contact because it had a hair line slit in it. I kept telling her it was my left eye she went to the back brought me a new contact said here right eye right eye put on. I said no it's my left eye she said yes yes left eye. I drove home felt a little dizzy could not see good as soon as I got home I took them out & there was a hair line slit in the left contact just like the previous. I put on my old glasses. I ended up going back that same day told the tech. I do not want the contacts I want glasses. I took an old frame with me to see what would be a better deal to get a new frame or just put lenses on my old frame. I had already prepaid $130 & if I wanted another frame it was an additional $50. I ended up using my old frame because it was no additional cost. I paid for a contact eye exam which is a regular eye exam but a little more extensive so that I could be fitted for contacts. The reason I did that was so I could get contacts & glasses. But I was told I would not get any info regarding contacts RX. Can't be legal I paid for that contact exam.
