Prescription eyeglasses: What a racket!
I've been wearing contact lenses for about 45 years and only wear my eyeglasses for backup, puttering around the house, to give me eyes a rest or for a quick short drive to a store or fast food drive through.

I hadn't bought new eyeglasses for about 14 years and they are beat up, scratched and old prescription.

During the last 3 months of my doctor-palooza visits, I went to my opthalmologist for a checkup. I suffered two retinal detachments, one in June 2002 in my right eye and the second with two tears in my left eye in May 2004, almost to the day.

My prescription is super high as my eyesight is horrible. I need binoculars to see 5 feet in front of me.

About a month ago got the checkup done and a new prescription.

This week I went shopping for a new pair of eyeglasses. I nearly fainted as I got prices with the frames I picked of $585-$730. The refractive lenses for high prescriptions was over $300 alone.

Today I went to Walmart vision and got a real nice pair of glasses and lenses for $213.

I felt like a champ leaving a Walmart. What a difference.

How the hell can a family afford eyeglasses if a couple of kids and one parent needs them.

Holy shit just crazy cost.

I don’t like Warby Parker. So I paid $300 for my last pair and that’s with insurance.

My vision insurance is $2 a month.


They prescribed me some glasses, even though I don't really need them. It cost me $0.

You can get a pair on Zenni for $7, though I usually add a few upgrades and end up around $50.

This is the way to go. Before I had cataract surgery I bought from Zenni. I had a really funky prescription and they had no problem fulfilling it. I did upgrade frames and my prescription was more expensive but I still only paid about $80.

One caveat. My first order arrived within a week. It came from their USA factory. Subsequent orders came from China and took a couple of weeks. If you need them fast, pay the $20 expedite fee. It's worth it.
