Being required to wear a mask is NOT the same thing as being required to wear a shirt.  Can a supermarket owner require you to take off all your clothes (or worse) in order to buy food?  No, of course not!  He would go to jail for that.  Requirements have to have some kind of reasonable basis.  Requiring people to wear a shirt is reasonable and appropriate for our culture.  Wearing a mask is not.  A mask could be appropriate in certain situations but as a general requirement it is onerous, counter-productive, damaging to the mental health of not only the one wearing it but also to the health of those nearby who understandably are subject to fear.  It also is responsible for a huge increase in delayed development of children.  So it is not a reasonable request.  It is a tool of communists who want to control the public.  If more people refused to wear masks (like the Canadian truckers), this pandemic would be over in a flash.  The first thing you can try is to make the appointment with the local eye doctor, and then show up without the mask and refuse to wear one.  If he throws you out of the office, just walk out, don't argue or cause a scene.  Try a few other local doctors.  Sooner or later, you'll find one that isn't a lunatic.

You, and others here may not be aware of what are called "Regulated" or "Legislated" Professions in Healthcare. These are covered by State, or Federal Levels of Government in the USA and Provincial and Federal Levels of Government in Canada. These help ensure consistent and minimum Standards of Care are met, and that not just anyone can call themselves an "Optometrist" or "Eye Doctor" etc. Titles are protected by law.

Wearing a mask to an eye doctor or optometrist is perfectly reasonable.

Have you ever had to make an appointment with a professional such as a Medical Doctor? Have you been made aware of their cancellation and no-show policies? Do you show up on time, or do you just manipulate things according to whatever mood you are in?

Fortunately, the great majority of "appointment-based" service providers are aware of such terrible advice and time-wasters like you and are smart enough to either get a credit card to hold the appointment, or get insurance information before hand to prevent such scenarios as what you are trying to encourage.

So not only are you giving terrible advice, but you are showing that you don't value other people's time. With such high integrity, it won't be long before you and the fellow in the OP would blow through all the Eyecare professionals in WVA and beyond, and you both WILL have to drive to Florida to find anyone dumb enough to accomodate either of you. The only lunatic here is you and your lunatic advice.
