I Can See Clearly Now
June 6, 2007Despite the many ways the average American life is made easier by high-tech gadgets and machines and idiot-proof processes, there are things that the Philippines does so much better — and with less expense too!
Take for example the matter of getting contact lenses. Here, I had to go through a contact lens fitting that cost me $75 under our insurance coverage. Now that the husband has moved to another job — and we are under a different coverage — I have to go through the whole process again and pay $95, even though I told them I am still fine with my old contact lens prescription and I just need a few boxes because my supply is running out. No can do.
Back home, the so-called contact lens fitting, which simply means having you try out different kinds of contact lenses until you find a brand that's comfortable for you, would have been free of charge (back then, anyways) and getting a box of contact lenses would have been as easy as pie. Sigh. I miss De Los Reyes Optical. Hahaha!
Anyhoo, I've found a way to circumvent the whole process. I can just get my contact lenses online and I won't have to pay that darn $95 fee! Online shopping is the bomb, don't cha think?

tiris, i never liked taylor hicks, right from the start. that whole soul patrol thing was just silly. no offense to his fans. katherine was the whole package. and i think she’s making the rounds of hollywood already.
