Ah so Dave
Reading well in Reading then < snickers>
Well, I'll tell ya Dave,
![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/lol.gif)
( sry couldn't resist that) I thought about going to a discount place like Costco or Lens Crafters but being my first pair in 30 years I thought I'd better stay with the doctors in house optician.
Firstly I get a 90 day satisfaction on the precription so If I chose to much correction ( casuing some slanting of objects) I can simply return them
and have less correction in the glass.
And two years on the frames, (wow these are nice - no fasteners whatsoever all pressure connections)
Plus I did get a 30.00 discount from the doctor ( people i work for sent me there , he's been taking care of them for ever) and the optician doubled that, then 10 bucks off the clip ons and then the regular discount from list price
The Glasses alone were 900. so after discount and including the Exam it is was 900.00 rounded off.
I do have to say though... 750.00 flipping dollars? for glasses that weight shite, in comparision I thought of tings I own like my laptop .. I paid 400.00 on sale was regular 700.00 and do you know who many parts are up in there? 24 carat gold plating ...... dedicated Nvidia graphics .....and it's dual core man..... Intel
I said 30 years in the start, I wore them from 5 years to 17 but didn't wear them much after 13. when i went into the Army I was told I didn't need them anylonger 20/40 or something..
but that was probably BS , figuring the DOD was just wanting to save a feww bucks on me to afford the million dollar hammers the buy.... bastards
