Eye care woes

So I learned that I misread my health benefits manual, and that contacts are not covered. Boo. I had been under the impression that I had a choice of glasses or contacts every two years, but no…contacts only if medically necessary. Whatever.

The thing that really irks me? Is that I had the eye exam. Eye exam is covered. However, because I said I wanted contacts, they do a “contact fitting.” Now, for my first time ever, this made sense. They have someone show you how to put them in, yada yada, and it’s an extra $30. But this time, all it was was me putting in a sample pair and saying “yeah, these are fine.”

What? Are you kidding me? Grr. GRR! The kicker? I wouldn’t be able to order new contacts without doing this. Even though my prescription has not changed AT ALL.

*Grumble*
