What should I do about losing my eyeglasses?!
Question:
What should I do about losing my eyeglasses?
I lost them on Thursday or Friday, & now I can't concentrate or focus because my eye muscles are weak. I can still see, but I need them so I can see better.
Answers:
I'm afraid you'll have to bite the bullet and replace them, my dear. If you've looked all over and they haven't turned up I call your eye doctor's office and see if by chance, you had a loss protection plan on them, or warranty of any kind. Most times, warranties only cover breakage, but some places offer plans that offer discounts on replacement glasses.
If not, perhaps you could get an inexpensive pair of glasses to hold you over until you can afford a better pair. I'm afraid that unless your glasses were reading glasses, that the drug store cheaters aren't going to help you to see far away.
So, don't wait for your glasses to magically drop into your lap. I've always joked with patients and said that a sure fire way for your lost glasses to reappear is to buy new ones. LOL But then at least you'd have a back-up set if that was the case, which leads me to my next point...ALWAYS HAVE A BACK-UP PAIR OF SPECS - JUST IN CASE!!!!
**Edit** You'd be surprised at what people will steal. .People have been known to steal prescription glasses and take them to their own eye doctor and have their prescription put in them. Sounds crazy, but some people will steal anything that isn't nailed down. Especially if your frames were newer, designer frames, like Versace or D&G...those frames sell for several hundreds of dollars, so YES, they WILL steal them...
