Today, we had a patient whom we had to read the glasses for the doctor prior to a refraction. The glasses were progressives. Right eye was a marked as a 1.67 Shamir Free Form and the left was a polycarbonate Essilor Ovation. Rx was OD +6.00-2.00 x130/ +2.50 add OS +5.00 -3.75 x 35/+2.50 add. We do not know where she got them previously.
The patient took the RX to a local big box discount store to have a new pair made today and the "optician" called us to ask what was wrong with the old. I proceeded to tell them our findings. She then kept asking me how would we would know that. I said they have markings that you can identify them. She then hung up on me. Unbelievable!
