Eye glasses and shit..

Something seriously amiss there.

Try going to a different optometrist.

For half that price you should be able to get two pairs.

Or get your written prescription and have your glasses made for you and sent by post. Companies like "Yes" have a wide range of styles of frames for a much lower price than your current quote.

P.S. Have you tried the non-prescription glasses available in chemists (drug-stores)? If your eyes are different they won't be perfect, but they can still make a huge difference.

It's ridiculous that a lot of insurance plans don't cover the cost of eyeglasses. Corrective lens are an absolute necessity for so many people.

I’ve had success with ordering on line.
I wear bifocals, the script isn’t complex, but one eye is weaker than the other.

I do have to wait 3 weeks for the glasses to ship from Hong Kong or Korea.. I have 3 pair that I rotate .

I quit getting glasses at an Optomitrist office for that reason. Places like Costco are much cheaper.

Gees. I buy Oakley ones and they dont cost that!

Yeah glasses are freakishly expensive. Are contacts any cheaper? I have no idea.

Do you have an especially complicated prescription? Even here in high cost Norway you can get spectacles for a lot less than that.

You have my sympathies here. We've already discussed it, but the eyeglass industry in the USA is one big scam. 🙄

That's horrendous. You do need them though, so I hope the universe blesses you with some great dashing days.

Fuck. I still need to get new glssses

I buy mine online. I have been doing it for 15 years and it’s much cheaper.
