I've been putting off getting my eyes checked for YEARS. I haven't had an exam since I was in primary school. I've felt that I've needed glasses for a long time but haven't wanted to pull the trigger because... Idk. There's no going back once I officially know I need glasses or something? Anyway, I'm booked in for tomorrow morning, time to find out how cooked I am ๐ค
The test/prescription is paid for by medicare, you don't owe the company a purchase of a pair of glasses, they'll try. If you're only on a weak prescription, you can order a simple pair of spectacles on Zenni for very cheap.
It makes a difference. I was like that initially but then I realised how much better I can see with my glasses on. You'll be glad you did it
