Hi all,
I have just had an eye test for the first time in my life at the age of 28. I was told that everything is looking healthy but that I could benefit from glasses.
I don't get headaches or anything but occasionally I have blurry vision reading street signs.
What would be my best way forward to get a decent pair of glasses for a reasonable price?? I don't have any private health
I made an appointment at OPSM so I understand they have an incentive to sell me glasses. But the moment I compared my vision with and without glasses there was a discernable difference
Get the full prescription from ops and look at somewhere else to buy, but honestly I wouldn't get any yet.
The cost of glasses (unless you have a strong prescription) wont be an issue. ..I usually buy a few pairs for $10-20 each online, then see what design/fits best and use the best one.
What is odd however, is the ambiguity. Do you need glasses, or not? Did they give you a script?
I would be contacting the optometrist again for clarification. Or if it wasn't an optometrist making an appointment. Medicare will give you a general check every 2 years and most places bulk bill.
get the script from the optometrist, then buy from the net….. heaps of places….

Get the test results, and buy online. For around $25 or so purchase price it's not a disaster if you don't end up using them. I like zenni.
If the doctor thinks that everything's ok with your vision then didn't you ask the reason of blurry vision at times?
There are many websites where you can buy glasses online. The prices are reasonable.
If everything's right and you don't even have any headaches which indicates poor vision then why do you think you can get any benefit from using glasses?
Umm… if this is at an optometrist, get a second opinion?
