Patient ordered 2 boxes of contacts, one for his right, one for his left. His rx is different for each eye so I labeled the box with an 'R' for his right eye. When he came in to pick them up, he asked what the box with the 'R' was for, I told him it was for his right eye. Then he asked what the other box was for....
Your elbow. Its for your elbow.
Patient, ".. Doctor says I have a subscription for stigmata.. Can you fill that?"
Me, "..Um.. "

Love this!!!
Love this. And by the way, my husband says elbow starts with e...
Yeah, I've had this. When you explain that you can't get them to fit on their face AND on top of their head - and they say - "They're on my head most of the time, so I'd rather they stayed up there."
Dumbest question I have been asked....
"Do I need a subscription for glasses?"
Had a patient a while back that got a very nice Silhouette rimless frame and trivex lenses. He came in twice the first month after he got them and the glasses were bent to hell both times. After the second time he said he couldn't understand why they got bent up, because his safety glasses didn't, and proceeded to throw his crappy old safety glasses against the wall. When he picked them up he held them up to show me those hadn't bent and asked "What do you think of that?" My answer, "That might be the stupidest thing I've ever seen!" Needless to say he's no longer patient here. It was worth it to see the expression on his face!
Irate patient: "All common sense aside, why did you not tell me that soft contacts can tear?!"
"Is this the pharmacy?"
When my rx changes, do I have to pay for new glasses?
"Seems like you put common sense aside quite often ma'am." lol! :)

common sense isn't so common anymore.
my patient asked: why you never use the machine to check my eye. computer more accurate you know?
Yeap
Gas perm contact wearer called to complain that he only received one lens in his latest order. I reminded him he only ordered one lens because there was no rx change on the other eye and that lens was in good shape. His question: "Then why does the case have a right AND a left side?"
"Will these (glasses) say Vera Bradley, Gucci, Etc. on the lenses once you put my prescription in?"
I used to explain the difference between demo lenses and actual rx lenses...
Now I respond with: "Yes, but that will cost extra."
Why did you not tell me at time of purchase, I had to get an eye exam every to years for contacts?
Yesterday, While troubleshooting for a patient wearing the Shamir Office lens:
The Patient: "Well I just don't think these are going to work out for me. While I was driving over here I put them on and I couldn't see the license plate of the car in front of me...."
Me: *facepalm*

Yesterday we had a new patient come in and ordered Transitions. She asked how long before they started working. My optician asked do you mean the reaction time? No, the last pair she got from a nat'l chain wasn't changing at all, she returned to them to complain only to be told " They take 6-9 months before they started to work".
Consumers aren't the only morons out there..
WOW. i'd like to think that wasn't possible someone would actually say that, but i know better!!
