You will hear a conversation between an optometrist and a patient who has come for an eye test.
Optometrist: Good morning, can I help you?
Simon Lee: Yes. I’m here for an appointment at ten o’clock with the optometrist. I’m a little early. I know it’s only ten to ten.
Optometrist: Are you Simon Lee?
Simon Lee: Yes, I am.
Optometrist: I’m Rachel White, the optometrist here today. Come in and take a seat.
Simon Lee: Thanks.
Optometrist: Before we test your eyes, I just need to get a few details from you. So, Simon, what’s your full name?
Simon Lee: Simon Anthony— that’s A-N-T-H-O-N-Y. And my family name is Lee: L double E.
Optometrist: And your date of birth, Simon?
Simon Lee: The 1st of June, 1989.
Optometrist: The 21st of June.
Simon Lee: No. The first of June.
Optometrist: Whoops… sorry! 1989 – ah, same year my son was born! What’s your current address?
Simon Lee: I’m living at a hall of residence.
Optometrist: Which one?
Simon Lee: At University Hall, not far from here, in Adams terrace.
Optometrist: University Hall… And do you have any medical insurance?
Simon Lee: Yes, I’m fully covered
Optometrist: And who are you insured with?
Simon Lee: I’m with ‘Health for life’.
Optometrist: Healthy Life.
Simon Lee: No. People always get that wrong. It’s Health for Life. They’re part of some big insurance company.
Optometrist: Good! Now, Simon. Have you ever had your eyes tested before?
Simon Lee: Yes, once. But not recently. It was when I was still at school.
Optometrist: So roughly when would that have been?
Simon Lee: Probably around September 2007. No, on second thoughts, it must’ve been the year before – September 2006. And my eyesight was fine then.
Optometrist: But you’re having a little difficulty now, are you?
Simon Lee: Well, yes … since I started at university, I’ve been having difficulty with distance vision. I can’t always see things in the distance.
Optometrist: Well, let’s have a look. Now I’m just going to cover your left eye. Can you read the top line?
Simon Lee: Yes. R… B… Q… S…
Optometrist: Well, Simon. Your eyes have obviously got a little worse since your last test and I think you’re going to need to wear glasses … er… not all the time and … not so much for reading or close work but definitely for driving.
Simon Lee: Right. Yes. I thought that was probably the case.
Optometrist: So now you need to choose some frames. There’s a wide range to choose from, as you can see.
Simon Lee: Can you give me some idea of the difference in cost? I quite liked the idea of some frameless glasses.
Optometrist: Mm… Did you? Well, the prices vary enormously, like everything, but the frameless ones are the most expensive. The cheapest are the ones with the full frame.
Simon Lee: Mm, perhaps I’d better go for those.
Optometrist: Or why not try these ones with the half frame?
Simon Lee: They’re not too bad.
Optometrist: Yes. They look quite nice and they’re strong far less likely to break than the frameless ones.
Simon Lee: Oh, that’s a good point. OK, I think I’ll take those ones.
Optometrist: If you pop back next Monday, I should have them ready for you. And you can pay for them when you pick them up.
Simon Lee: Thanks very much. Can I pay by credit card?
Optometrist: You can, but there will be a slight charge if you do that.
Simon Lee: Right. I’ll pay by cash then, if you don’t mind.
Optometrist: No problem. Cash, credit card, debit card. All the same to us. See you on Monday.
