My optometrist is thoroughly old-school in his procedures...which makes sense, since he's like fucking 72 or some shit. Which in the long run is better, since he doesn't just check your vision, he actually checks the health of your eyes. From what I understand, a lot of newer doctors don't do this. He does all kinds of weird tests...and of course you have to come in for a fitting once the glasses are in, he would never just hand them over.
