We see a lot and hear a lot in optometry. Stories are told. Many laughs are heard. Sometimes a chuckle. Sometimes an awkward silence. At Overheard Optometry, the stories aren’t about a refraction or eyeglass prescription. They’re about so much more than that. And to be honest, some of them are pretty bad. Join us for this round of stories where patients said things that could only be understood if you passed Mindreading 101.

Be sure to follow Overheard Optometry on Instagram @overheardoptometry.

Obviously, there is a difference. Why make it difficult for the patient?

Right, of course. In fact, we should give you an extra discount!

Okay, that’s not as bad as using only one lens for eight years.

Right. Makes sense. How did I miss that?

Of course, right next to the optical where we also sell hair clips and toothbrushes.

You want us to give you trials and make sure they’re your own prescription?

How dare that optician.

Not sure why we don’t put out disclaimers. #savethetortoises

Silly me. Should have been more specific.
