I had this happen to me when I was younger. Lady basically said they only do eye exams and then they offer to sell you the prescription separately... some bullshit.
- bluGill 6y agoWhen I got my exam I asked about diving lenses which they don't sell. They then gave me a prescription and my pupil distance so I can order them. Of course I was buying their glasses which made them more inclined to like me.
- pessimizer 6y agoThe exam policy is corporate rent-seeking. The people who are actually doing the work are far more likely than not to personally side with the customer, although they're not going to risk their jobs (and possible future blacklisting) over it. Making any sort of even temporary personal connection with the person giving you the test will probably get you your pupil distance if you ask.
- knodi123 6y ago> will probably get you your pupil distance if you ask. I just walked into a lenscrafters in the mall and asked for mine. Guy measured it and scrawled it on a card. Didn't even have to wait. But if interpupilary distance is all you need, lenscrafters is overkill. It's easy to measure at home, you just need a metric ruler and a youtube tutorial.
