Prescription Glasses

[jcrod]

Anyone bought glasses lately? Its about time I bought new glasses, its been such a long time since I bought my last pair. Wondering if anyone notice any deals and has anyone been to that My 39.95 place?

I bought new glasses recently. I went to Eye Masters and paid over $100 for mine. And that was with 50% off!

[tlongII]

Dude good luck on getting glasses for 40 bucks. Mine cost me at least $200.

Every two years it's My Econo for me.

I just picked up new glasses yesterday. I had the new prescription put into frames that I already had and still love, but my lenses alone were about $160.

My last pair of glasses cost $750! Seriously.

I have three different prescriptions in each lens- one for distance, one for computer, one for reading- also astigmatism in both eyes and special coating on the lenses for my night blindness.

I was hoping to do just that, I like my frames, but they're pretty much broken now. I've had these for about 10yrs, longest pair I've had.

:wow Holy cow! I'd like to get a pair of prescribed sunglasses but they want over $500, because I have progressive bifocals. :rolleyes

Why do glasses cost so much?

Was that just an in store special or an ad in the paper?

In store special, but it was for about 2-3 months.

Damn, I believe it. I use to carry eye insurance and my las pair was still $340.

Mine have progressive lenses- those lenses with the coating for my night blindness cost me about $600.

My insurance does not pay for any of it. :(

I desperately need new glasses but I wear contacts most of the time so it hasn't been a priority. Also when I have checked them out I just see walls and walls of the same frame. Too boring. But I take my kid to the 2 for $99 deal at Eyemasters and we always get off pretty cheaply.

that's what I do. I go when they have their "buy one pair, get one free" deals. Usually ends up costing $250 or so for both pair.

[mexicanjunior]

I bought new glasses about 3 years ago. I went to an eye doctor first and the prices ranged from 150-350. I decided to go to the Eye Center at Wal-Mart and, for lenses and frames, spent about 80 bucks total (with insurance).

I have never worn contacts but I have been tempted since they now have multi-focal progressive contacts that can also correct for astigmatism. My opthlamologist said they work for about half his patents who try them.

[JudynTX]

Don't got to Wal-Mart thinking they have cheaper glasses, they aren't. :flipoff

:lol

[timvp]

The other company sells glasses at amazingly cheap prices. I got two pairs shipped to my door for a total of $24. No prescription verification process and the company was based in California.

I still have those glasses. I wear contacts 99% of the time but those glasses are fine ... especially considering the price.

I wonder if that company is still around or if it got shot down by now . . .

I'm afraid of buying glasses online. My husband ordered a pair online though. :lol

I'm trying to save up for the Lasik......

[ashbeeigh]

My office building has like 10 optometrists and 5 dentists. I need to go to one someday. The day that I print out my health insurance card from the website will be the best day ever.

So, I haven't bought glasses recently...but I need to. :)

Wondering if anyone notice any deals and has anyone been to that My 39.95 place?is that the one ran by Mike Nutzitch? i bought my glasses from him a lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng time ago.

[CuckingFunt]

I'm hoping to win an auction today on eBay for a super cool pair of vintage cateye frames. If I do, those will be my new sunglasses. Probably not practical for everyday use since old frames aren't as comfortable, but much cheaper than a new pair of sunglasses.

[SpursWoman]

I've had to buy 2 pairs of glasses in a pretty short period of time, each time was about $170 after insurance. I just got my new pair maybe 2 months ago and they already got messed up by an emery board in my purse. :(

If you don't have specific vision insurance, you still might be eligible for a pretty good discount through your health insurance. Oh, and my last pair I got through Eyetex on 281 ... and they were awesome, and ridiculously cheaper than Lenscrafters.

I stop carrying vision a long time ago, I wasn't replacing mine so I figured why bother.

[SpursWoman]

I didn't have it while back either, but still got a good discount at least because I have Humana and they have some kind of free discount plan for their members. Maybe whatever insurance you have might have one, too, it's at least worth inquiring. :)

I might have to order another pair of $9 glasses before they get shut down by the feds :lol

Thanks, great prices. I replied, is there one for contacts, didn't notice they had a section for those.

[timvp]

is there one for contactsSent.

[Biernutz]

Don't buy the flex frames thinking you won't break them. They cost a lot more. They are not guaranteed for life and mine broke in the section over the nose that connects the two lenses. I was just cleaning the glasses when it just snapped in two. A internet search came up with lots of problems with these frames.

[Bukefal]

There are so much people today who have bad vision and need to wear glasses. And its getting more and more. Thats not good!!! Does the increasing use of computers, tv etcc the last years, contribute heavily to this ?

Dude , no wonder why your shot was off.

[Wild Cobra]

I paid almost $400 for my prescription sunglasses. Insurance paid for my regular ones, and that was after getting the prescription! The prescription alone will cost a bit.
