Has anyone ever had a patient who thought that their Rx lenses were some sort of liquid that "runs out"? I had a patient the other day who said his glasses "prescription is running out, and I need the doctor to put some more prescription in it," and he continued to shake the glasses as if to demonstrate that the prescription "juice" is running out.
Also, on the same note, I had a patient the other day who kept insisting that he wants "just the 'good ole' fashion prescription" in his new glasses. I tried my best to explain to him that he had presbyopia and would benefit from some sort of a multi-focal lens-- But he wasn't having any of this, he kept saying: "NO!! I just want the 'good ole fashion' prescription that gives me the 20/20 da#mit !!!" -- I actually have had multiple patients like that, where I am trying to explain in the easiest terms about correcting different focal lengths and they keep insisting that all they want is 20/20 and nothing else!!! "I don't want bi-focals of any kind!! I just want the 20/20!!!!
Anyone else have similar stories?
