I hope someone benefits from this. At our age of 50 - 100 or whatever going on 20, please just don't see an optician for an eye checkup.
I think what hurts is that many of us think "20" and perhaps are metabolically and physiologically are 20, but some parts of our body don't cooperate, like our eyes
Go to an Ophthalmologist or seasoned Cataract Surgeon who will do a detailed eye examination, because there's a lot of things like Glaucoma, Dry Eye and Retina issues that a regular optician does not have the tools experience.
It was my fault also, because I'm frugal. You can't expect a Chain Store optician, no matter how good they are, who sees a high volume of patients and who does not have good equipment to do a complete exam. (Wells yes, one chain store optician did point me in the correct direction, but two others didn't know what was going on.)
You need to have your eyes dilated and have your eyes scanned with advance imaging technology.
