Eye exams are not fun for me

I am sitting in my ex-husband's house, waiting for 1030 to roll around so I can head out to my eye appointment. I am sure I am going to be poked, prodded and generally annoyed, if not in some pain from the eye exam itself. Hopefully they will either be able to fix my military issue glasses (since I can't afford new ones) or tell me I don't need glasses anymore. I am also going to discuss with them the possibility of me learning how to wear contacts. If I can learn to put them in, then contacts may be the way to go for me, then I will always have "glasses" on to help me see, even when I put on my sunglasses.
