When I arrived at that America’s Best, they informed me that this would be a remote eye exam. There was also the major curiosity — and convenience, or rather, inconvenience (for me) — factor: If it’s a remote eye exam, why was I in a doctor’s office at all? This is where the remote eye exam actually starts. I was impatient and insisted on getting my prescription that exact day, and the remote eye exam allowed me to do that. These days, a remote eye exam doesn’t make a whole lot of sense in a region so replete with eye doctors.
