[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 192601, member: 1233"] I can't see something 10 inches from my face with-o glasses, and have terrible astigmatism, so I must always have glasses. I can't say the cheap glasses aer perfect, and they don't have a warranty usually. So for the kids I get the ones from eyemasters, but for me I spend $50 or so and get a pair that will last a year or so. Wiz needed them so badly by the time he quit blowing off the eye exams (he was just saying something to get out of the exam sooner, and our eye doctor is a mom of a difficult child, so she knew it, so she didn't rx glasses at first because she wasn't getting an accurate reading of what he needed - because he was being a jerk) and cooperated with the eye doctor, that he hasn't damaged a single pair on purpose. Of course, headaches every day to the point he was barfing until he got his glasses DOES play a role. And being told that after the first replacement he would ahve to pay for gas to go the 1 1/2 hours to the eye place and back also played a role. Cause if it is going to cost HIM $$ it better not be for something that is a necessity and not one of his luxuries. He is now in contacts, as is Jessie. They both are surprisingly good with the hygeine and take good care of them. contacts for astigmatism are expensive and not always comfortable. But they may be cheaper than replacing glasses frequently. They do have monthly replacement contacts for astigmatism, if yuo think that is worth a shot. OUr vision insurance (NOT great) covers 6 months worth of contacts for each of us. We pay the ohter 6 months, but it is pretty easy to find a good price online once you ahve the fitting done and are sure of the rx. I am sorry. This is such a frustrating situation. Susie [/QUOTE]
