The optician was thorough—like, “I’ll bet you haven’t had your macula checked since 2019” thorough. She didn’t just test my vision; she peered into my soul with that weird blue light. And you know what? I appreciated the brutal honesty when she said, “You’re not getting younger, but we can make you see like you are.” No sugar-coating, just facts.
Their frame selection is overwhelming—in a good way. From sleek tortoiseshell numbers to bold statement frames that scream “I’m an artist” (even if you just draw stick figures). I tried on at least fifteen pairs, and the staff didn’t roll their eyes once. They actually said, “That one makes your cheekbones pop,” which, let’s face it, is the kind of validation we all crave.
The audiology rabbit hole
Now, here’s the ironic twist: I popped into the audiology section while waiting for my lenses to be adjusted. Turns out, Worthing’s branch has on-site hearing tests that are surprisingly relaxing. You sit in a soundproof booth, press a button when you hear a beep, and suddenly you realize that your partner’s “mumbling” is actually your ears waving a white flag. Who knew?
The audiologist showed me a tiny hearing aid that connects to my phone via Bluetooth. I’m not saying I need one yet, but the idea of silently muting a boring conversation with a tap? Tempting. Very tempting.
