I had a severe change in my eyesight after having COVID in May-June 2023 that required a prism be added to both lenses of my prescription, as I was seeing double.

I also added the $30 retinal scan, for my peace of mind. Dr. Penrod even emailed me the retinal imaging so that I could share it with my friends!) I was all set to pick out some glasses online with my new updated prescription. Very painless process.
