too strong

so yesterday we went to pick up Joey's prescription at Costco. they had originally told us 7 - 14 days and yesterday was day 14. I went to the bathroom as he picked them up. When I got out, he was standing there talking to the guy with no glass case in his hand and he said let's go. I asked where his glasses were. He said that they had already tried to make 2 lenses for him but that because his prescription is so strong (he has a really bad astigmatism) the lenses have broken when they tried to put the anti-reflective coat on. They're on lens try # 3 and then they'll hopefully be here by next Thursday. How sad huh?
