Today I had an appointment to have my annual eye exam. I need glasses. I hate glasses. I was fine with the glasses until a few months ago, one of my friends told me they didn't want eyeglasses like mine because they look like Mrs. Claus glasses. That's "Mrs. Claus" as in Santa's wife.
I have tried to wear contacts over and over and I thought my problem was "dry eye". I blink 300-400 times a minute when they are in. I want to wear contacts, but I really think all I need is a dry eye prescription. When the good doctor finished the exam, I said to him - "Will you let me try contacts one more time?" He agreed and I chimed in "Would you consider writing me a prescription for Cialis?" With a puzzled look on his face, he said "Cialis is a drug for erectile dysfunction." OMG!! I was mortified. I said "Oh no, I mean Restasis - you know the woman doctor uses it on tv." He gave me some samples of over the counter eye drops and a pair of contacts to try, and he got the heck out of that examining room.
With all the ads on tv, don't you understand how I would get the two mixed up?
Cymbalta, Pristiq, Cialis, Restasis, Lipitor, who can remember all that stuff???
I am definitely going to change doctors.
