Hyper sensitive day and an opticians appointment

BeckyThump

I'm having a really hypersensitive day and it's coincided with an opticians appointment, this is not a good combination. When I've been in the past I've not been on a bad day it seems because this is just horrible, the lights and noises are too much. And they don't do the same frames as I had last time so I have to choose new ones. I've asked about mirror lenses for the sunglasses and you'd think I'd asked for something completely odd going by the lack of information from anyone in store.

  • Oh no, sorry you've had a rough day of it.

    I hope you at least got the lenses you want.

    I had my eyes tested 2 days ago, the air puff in the eyes for the pressure test is the absolute worst, I kept physically jumping so much before after, and during the air puff from anticipation and shock cycle of it that the kid on work experience had to take it over and over again to get it right.

    How did you get on with the frames in the end? I saw similar frames but fortunately I found some I liked the look of better, I'm gonna keep my old frames though just incase I don't get lucky with the next prescription upgrade and then I will ask if they can put the new lenses into my old frames instead.

    I found frames I liked that are similar to my current ones, little bit larger but same shape and have nice turquoise arms, solid frame so still no nose pads as they drive me nuts. That's for my regular glasses, and found a frame I liked the looks and feel of for the sunglasses as well, very similar to some non-prescription ones I have that are mirrored. Didn't manage to get paid and ordered though, as they needed to check something to do with the mirror finish with another store, they're going to ring me tomorrow morning to sort it out, but at least I don't have to go in again.

    I'm now sat at home with my weighted blanket and a cat, with my headphones on trying to rebalance. I've not been that close to a meltdown in public for quite a while, not since back when I thought they were panic attacks linked to my anxiety.
