I had the eye exam recently. I needed new glasses, but not bifocals yet!!
LAst time I needed glasses we were dead broke so I ordered them online. They were pretty good, lasted for 3 years.
So I ordered online again. My new glasses came 2 weeks after I ordered them. About the same wait as when I was 9 and got my first glasses!
I got rimless glasses that are titanium and bendable. They were just under $60. They are good quality. I put htem on expecting to have to go and get them adjusted. They were PERFECT!! No adjustments!!!
I priced new ones at LensCrafters (and got my pupillary distance - they have a machine you look into to get this measurement). For just new lenses I would have to pay $400 AFTER my eye insurance. For new glasses the cheapest price was $575!!! I have a high power, but not that high!!! To get the rimless, memory titanium glasses at LC, it would be over $700!!!
I was just appalled at the LC price. There are other places that do them cheaper, but the insurance isn't good there. AT least it pays for the eye exam and for Jessie's adn Lyndon's contacts.
Thought you all might want to know. The online glasses are really nice, I will continue to get our glasses there.
