Hello, this is Benjamin Corry.

I'm calling to see if my prescription for glasses is ready for pickup.

Yes, Mr. Corry.

I'm afraid we need you to come in for an eye exam this time.

Our record shows that your last checkup with Dr. Jones was well over a year ago,

which means its results are no longer valid for a new prescription.

Oh, is that right?

I had no idea that an eyeglass prescription could expire.

Well, the expiration of your prescription simply suggests that you might be wearing glasses that do not correct your vision

since your eyesight may have worsened during that time.

I certainly do not want that.

Can you fit me in tomorrow afternoon?

I'm sorry, all the doctors are booked up.

We happen to have several openings the day after tomorrow.

We are open till 9 pm.

Perfect.

What about 6 pm?

I can probably swing by after work.

Uh… I'd like to see Dr. Jones if that's okay.

Sure.

Thursday 6 pm it is.

See you then.
