I am 17 and have had glasses since i was 4.
Last month i went to Specsavers for my 6 month check up, which was a waste of time. The guy that was checking my eyes asked how my eyesight was to which i replied that my eyes were not too good as i am now having to have my texts enlarged at school so i can read them, he asked why in a blunt mannor and i told him that i was struggling to read small print and that the Visual Impairment Service people had done checks on my eyes and found that i was clearly having difficulty reading and that they would be enlarging all my work for me. He never new anything about this and said that he couldnt find much change in my eyesight from last time. I asked what he meant by not alot and he replied 'not much difference', i asked if he meant as in it had changed slightly for the worse or for the better but he would not answer my question.
He then told me that i was to come back in 2 years for another check up, which suprised me alot. I am not happy with this concidering how my eyesight is changing all the time and that clearly it HAS got worse when i am n longer able to read 'normal' size texts. Surely this should mean that my eyesight should in fact me monitored and not just left for it to get alot worse.>?
I also suffer from Cateracts in both my eyes which i was only told about a year ago. At this time i was told that i have had the cataracts all my life. But i had never been told this until i was 16 and started to get much worse vision which is really rather shocking. Since being told about the cateracts, i have never had it mentioned again by any of the people checking my eyes which confusied me a great deal as i would have thought they would also monotor that or at least mention it, but its like its not even on record?
Im really not very happy with their service and i am thinking about changing my optitions shortly.
