One of the blessings of the OFH is its proximity to the Minneapolis V. A. Hospital. The V.A., like many other entities, is struggling with hiring staff; specifically optometrists. When the V.A. was unable to schedule an eye exam at the hospital for lack of optometrists they referred me to a local Pearle Vision. On Thursday I went to Pearle Vision for an exam.
With the prescription from the eye exam clutched in my hot little hand I went to the V.A. Hospital this morning. There in the eyewear clinic, without a wait, my prescription details were entered into the system, new frames were ordered, my old frames were straightened (I vow never to sit on them again) and in less than 30 minutes I was on my way. New glasses will arrive via USPS in a couple of weeks.
Thanking the person who helped me I left. My only regret is that I failed to tell her that she'd made the entire experience pleasant and positive. Notch one up for the V.A.

Way to go, Pearl! 😁
