hey i just wanted to put a quick post up for people that may not know, cuz i certainly didnt until a couple years ago, but the whole prescription glasses industry is a massive racket, and i wanted to let people know about the more affordable options for buying or replacing glasses
when you go to an optometrist to get your eyes tested, they take a lot of measurements and will give you a prescription that lists things like how near or farsighted each eye is, spherical and cylindrical measurements for astigmatism, etc, but one measure they almost always leave out of the portion they give you is your interpupillary distance, that is, the distance between your pupils, measured in millimeters
the reason they leave that out is because if you have your full prescription, including the interpupillary distance, you can just go online and buy glasses from a place like zenni optical for less than $20 USD. and if you go and buy them online, thats ~$200 they dont get to bilk from you
so, you have two options, you can either request your interpupillary distance number when you get your eyes tested, which they cant legally withhold from you because its medical information
This Is Specifically Enforced By The Federal Trade Commission!
they dont get to withhold this! a lot of them will lie to you, or try to skirt around it, because they want your money. raise a fucking stink. this is an argument you can win.
the other option is to measure your interpupillary distance at home, using either a ruler and a mirror, or a phone app which is made for this purpose
once you have your full prescription information, you can buy glasses online, made to your specific prescription, for well under a TENTH the cost of ones you would buy at a brick and mortar store
Here is a presentation of the tiers. Later tonight (in like 30-45 minutes) I will be posting my first batch of adopts. They’ll be posted to Patreon for 24 hours before I post them to my other social medias, so patrons have priority!
I would also normally open 6 monthly commission slots, but they’re all taken already. Starting now, my comms slots are going to be patron first, and then if I have any slot left, I’ll open them publicly.
Thank you so much to all my followers, watchers and commissioners support- and for making this possible!
Hi everyone, I've got notebook designs that I'm really excited to share with y'all! I'll be selling these on my store, so please keep an eye out for the re-opening!!
I drew an icon of my protogen Wesley for myself! I mildly redesigned him, and what initially was supposed to be a dorky little sketch turned into what might call for a worrying amount of advil. My back is killing me >~<
(shh don’t look at the ears I got terrible lazy and really just wanted to be done with this. Fur is not my strongsuit ><)
