Since reservations aren’t possible, we arrived an hour early to ensure we could get a table for twelve before everyone else showed up. As my dad approached Isla Grand , the branch we visited in Pleasant Hills, California , the host at the door said they could prepare a table for twelve at five o'clock.

Carmina's Experience without Any Contact Lenses


Carmina had test herself and analyze to see how it would feel if you walked out in public having no contact lenses.

Carmina was walking around the surrounding looked unclear due being near sighted. The advantages are that you're use to walking around Ali Mall it was easier to navigate yourself.

You wonder people who have no way to correct their vision how they can cope doing it every day.

While for you it is just temporary where you can put contact lenses on Carmina was feeling stressed and agitated by her vision even if you see people passing by you it were unclear how they looked faraway.

Carmina waited outside from Sarabia Optical due they only allow three customers inside.



You'll notice there are plastic screen inside due to the pandemic where you need to leave your mask on at all times.

Carmina had informed Ms. Beth that she would like to have an eye exam and order some contact lenses.

Even if someone approaches you they won't recognize any difference if you have no clear vision how they look at you. 

Dr. Tess had sterilized the machines before Carmina had entered inside the room.

Dr. Tess had informed Carmina she can wear reading glasses when she is not wearing any contact lenses.

Carmina mentioned during the pandemic she had rest her eyes not wearing contact lenses for two years.

Dr. Tess advice Carmina when we begin to age our vision begin to change it is best to have reading glasses to rest our eyes.

Carmina had tried some reading glasses but when you look at yourself wearing them you have no clue if they look good on your face.

Being stressed with your vision makes your world fall slowly apart something made me realize how people cope with a vision that they need to look closer through their eyes.

Carmina went backed home to look for her old pair of reading glasses year 2018.

Dr. Tess had informed Carmina it would take 3 to 4 days when her reading glasses and contact lenses will be ready to be picked up.

Four days later Carmina went back to Sarabia Optical to pick up her contact lenses and reading glasses that was able to put new lens for her new vision.



Carmina wanted to have reading glasses because she will be flying and wanting to make sure you can rest your eyes. We want to still be able to see what we are doing.


Carmina's vision is both different on both eyes for example on my right eye and left explains on the box of my contact lenses.
