Wally was terrific as usual. The doctor listens patiently and proceeds accordingly. They do not push you to order glasses from them unlike other eye offices. But because of the way you are treated, you just want to because you know that you will get a quality product that you can afford.

StarStarStarNo StarNo Star Confusion About New Lenses —    (Patient since Thu May 27 00:00:00 MDT 2021)

Please don't think negatively of my ratings! Many are due to my confusion. I actually thought at the time I understood what I was answering but now am not so sure that I did. That was not Dr. Cowger or Wally's fault. I should have asked more questions. My lenses are quite a bit different than what I have been wearing for many years. I don't think I still have a good grasp on "computer lenses" vs "reading glasses." Yesterday when I first got home I was quite alarmed because it didn't seem that I could really see anything clearly except the computer screen. My left lense is clearer than the right - even on the computer. Today is some better so maybe it is just a matter of adjusting to no progressive lense. I have had them for a long time. Right now I'm struggling most with small things - like the time stamp on a text. Close up can't read at all. Far enough away for the numbers to be clear I still can't always tells what they are. I am going to give them a week to see if adjusting to the non-progressive lens makes a difference with my other concerns. Again, Dr. Cowger and Wally were wonderful. I just think I really didn't understand fully what the new lenses would be like.
