r/glasses

So some back story, I went to eye doctor August 3rd, but didn't order my glasses until probably August 14th. After waiting almost 3 weeks they finally came in but were made with a blue light coating I did not ask for so they were sent back. About 2 weeks later they came in and I thought everything was great when I picked them up. More and more I used them and with some online digging I found out they were made with Shamir's blue zero lense (which give anything with natural light a yellowish tint. Which blocks out blue violet, uv light. Another thing I did not want and was added without my consent. So now they are being made for a 3rd time.

Here's the thing, what do I do, I paid for the frames and lenses already and technically it is my own "problem" that I don't want a lense that distorts the colors I see in the world but like is there some sort of a law or thing under insurance where I can get some money back? I just feel like it is crazy that it is October 4th and I still don't have new glasses after my originalorder was in August...

Hello, I am looking for other people’s experiences with neurolens. My glasses came in today and I am wondering if it makes your vision “off” at first. I don’t even know how to describe what feels off. I guess the best description would be blurry/foggy. I can still see, something just feels off. Additional info: I have never worn glasses before. I got these to help with migraines and eye strain. (The eye doctor did a special test and said I have misalignment). Just wondering if this is an adjustment period or if they just are not working for me.

I recently had an eye test where I was given prescription but wasn’t give a clear decision on if I should wear glasses or not. I hadn’t gotten an eye test ever before so this was my first time getting one. I don’t think my vision is too affected as my left eye has been dominant eye for a very long time and has been doing most of the work, therefore im torn on if I should get glasses as I’ve never had to wear them before.

What are the benefits of getting glasses in my situation?

i've been helping my mom with some of her healthcare expenses since she went on medicare, and i'm realizing that routine vision care is one of those things i didn't really understand beforehand. she mainly needs regular eye exams, prescription updates, and glasses when hers need replacing.

i'm trying to figure out whether having a separate vision plan makes sense for her or if we'd be better off just paying for exams and glasses as they come up. i've been looking at VSP as one option, but i'm not sure how these plans actually work for someone who's already on medicare or whether the savings are enough to justify another monthly premium.

for anyone who's dealt with this for themselves or a parent, what should i be looking at when comparing the cost of a vision plan with simply paying out of pocket for glasses and routine exams?
