Last week, I wrote about my experience with Focus Point.
So, I have been wearing my glasses for like 2 weeks now. I am a one-eye blind rat, which is right eye blind, so, naturally, I have only a powered lens for my right eye. I am 375 blind, but, when i tried on a 250 lens on the spot, I felt a little discomfort. So, the optometrist suggested that I should wear a 200 only lens. Well, of course, the inexperienced me would not know how is it like to wear a lower powered lens.
So, I am back home with my lower-powered lens. After2 weeks of wearing, I found the prob, I can’t even look at my computer screen clearly! I though it was because my tired eyes or something, but when I took off my specs, everything became clearer. I can see clearer without glasses!
Ok, now, I have to bring my specs to the shop and ask what I could do with it. Do you think they will replace my lens at no cost at all? Yes, at the time of trying, i felt abit discomfort, you know, like when you are in the dark room reading the alphabets. But, what puzzles me is, why didn’t the optometrist advise that I would get used to a lens that match my blindness?
So, what can I do now? Anyone has experience?

You should go back to the shop and insist that they resolve this problem for you!. I believe that it is part of the total package for them to provide PROPER ADVISE on the CORRECT lens for you. This is subject to the customer having acted in good faith while working of lens selection.
A replacement of lens looks certain and you should insist for a SIGNIFICANT DISCOUNT!. Secondly, get them to retest your eye sight…using a different optometrist. He should let you have a prototype to wear first before finalizing on the proposed lens required. Take your time to view when wearing the prototype…
Good luck …
