I do as well, but haven't made the time to visit the eye doctor for a check-up. After that, new glasses and perhaps sunglasses though I've been doing fine without thus far.


i wear contacts mostly, so my non prescription sunglasses work fine, despite being non SF approved.

good luck to ya.

Wait until you have to get lenses for them. ******* thieves, they are.


i know, i asked about that, the place wanted upwards of 200 just for the lenses. mother F***ers.

I would welcome $200 for lenses, this place up the road wanted to charge me $550 and I don't even have progressives or any of that nonsense. I stitched them down to $350 though. :slayer:

Why don't you both just man up, stop being lazy, and see things better?

(also pB, props for using the word stitched there)

Can't get this cough to go away and it's bugging the crap out of me.


Too bad you don't know a doctor otherwise you could get a chest Xray or at least a script for a Z-pak.

i want new glasses, but damn they are expensive the ones i want.


Tell me about it, the last few pairs I have bought have been expensive enough but the cost of prescription lens's is going through the roof. My last pair two years ago cost around $300 then you have to fork out $400 for frames.

When I picked up a new pair recently it was $550 for the lens's alone as for the frames well to get a stylish and decent frame costs around $500. And the health fund we are in only gives back $180 a pair.

Ha! not that I know of.

I am 7.5 so I use a high index ultra thin plastic lens which has to be ground, right ******* pain.

my wife had a infatuation with Moscots before xmas. twas a very expensive couple of months.

at least she has the convenience of transitional lenses - she was weirdly too cheap to buy prescription sunglasses beforehand.
