hi
my 7 year old wears glasses. she was complaining her eyes werent right again so took her to optician
She has 2 pairs - both the same for the economy range. i thought there was no point in spending loads in anticipation of breakage etc
Went to optician who confirmed that her vision has indeed changed and she needs new lenses. absolutely no problem...would pay any money to ensure she has the right lenses.
But then he announces they are getting a new range of hannah montana glasses in and she might like to see them. of course her little face lights up and she says she would love a pair. over the weekend she has told her friends about how she cant wait to see the hannah montana glasses.
The receptionist then took her to see the spongebob ones so she would get an idea of the style and i asked how much they were - 89 euro.
now i am sorry but i really think spending that on frames is crazy. whatever about if she older. also the spongebob ones just have a tiny face of spongebob on the bit that sits behind the ear!
so when we went to collect the new lenses today she asked me about the hannah ones. i said i couldnt afford them this month and she said she would save her pocket money.
now thankfully i do have the money to buy them but i really think it was very unfair of the optician to say what he did.
is it just me being cranky or does anyone agree? Was half thinking of ringing him and telling him i didnt appreciate it.
