I had a customer come in today and have the audacity to tell me that her vision is worse than mine and that i couldn’t possibly understand.
HELLO? What fucking planet are you on? I may not look like I have a heavy prescription, but that doesn’t mean I see well. I have one eye that sees VERY well and another that seems to be diminishing as time goes on. To be fair, I’m only a -3.50 in that eye, but I will NEVER see 20/20. It just won’t happen. Do you know what this means? It means that I put a lot of stress on my good eye. I suffer many migraines because of it. There is no medicine that can fix it.
Sure, you put on you -4.00 in both eyes or whatever it is you wear and talk down to me. In your glasses you still see much better than I ever can and you will never have to feel the pain of a pulsing migraine that’s raging. No, no. You can talk down to me all you want. Trying to make me feel sorry for you. I can’t. I won’t. My debilitating migraine is making it nearly impossible to even look at you.
Half of a diaopter in optics is not that much. I can sympathize. Please do not talk down to me. I want(ed) to help you. You’re insulting.
