    I had an eye exam for contacts lenses on June 25, 2024. After the exam the eye doctor, *******************************, gave me a trial pair of contacts. I put the contacts in, and immediately noticed that the left eye was off. It was very blurry. I mentioned this to him. So he had me read a few more of the letters on the chart. Then he stated "with these contacts your vision is at 20/15. I don't know what more you want" I was highly disappointed by his answer because the correct vision is 20/20. So if it's at 20/15 then it should be obvious that the left eye is too strong. But I figured, I will see if I can adjust to the new prescription. I tried for 3 days to wear the new prescription, but it was causing dizziness, nausea, and it was triggering migraines. So I called and made another appointment, to see if I could get the correct prescription. I also decided to get fitted for multifocal contacts this time. I thought maybe this would help. On June 28th I had my appointment. I never actually saw ******************* on this entire appointment. I only spoke with ******* who I believe is the Optician. She however, was going back and telling the doctor my issues, The issue was the same as last time. I cannot see because the left eye needs to be a lower power than my right eye, I have worn contacts for 32 years, so I do know what works best for my eyes. ******* relayed this information to ********************. His response this time was to say "it will always be a little blurry" I will upload my receipts. But I paid $268 on June 25th and $80 on June 28th. I will also upload a pic of the trial pairs that I have left. Just to show that I didn't even wear all of them. I am asking for a full refund and they can just take my prescription out of their system, since I will never use it. I have since went to a new doctor and she listened to me and gave me the correct prescription.
