Strange Looking Man!
Mr. Wonderful With Blinders!
The first time I saw him, I laughed so loud. He looked like he came right out from one of those sci-fi TV series, Twilight Zone. The series originated in the late 50’s into the 60’s. Boy that sounds old, huh! One episode, Time Enough At Last, reminds of me of this man with glasses similar to what Mr. Wonderful is wearing. hahahahaha! The picture above shows him after he had his glaucoma test.
In one of my recent posts, I mentioned about my husband having eye infection called Keratitis that can seriously blind a person if not treated rather aggressively and quickly. Two weeks past, he had been complaining about not able to see even with eyeglasses and contact lenses together. Don’t ask me why he opted to use both at the same time. I kept telling him to go to a real eye doctor (an ophthalmologist) as opposed to an optometrist. But like a typical male, patience is not one of their virtues. Going to an ophthalmologist means (for him) wasting time sitting for minutes on end, while his eyes get measured and checked meticulously. But I think the real issue is having a person up close to your face examining you, that makes it uncomfortable for him.
So, his vision was getting worse and worse. He decided he needed go back to the same optometrist he has been seeing. After consulting with the vision insurance company, we were told that whatever visit beyond Mr. Wonderful’s January visit, coverage will not happen. Having to redo an eye exam and eyeglass prescription within a year will totally be the patient’s payment responsibility. Darn!
