My insurance will pay $100. towards a pair of eye glasses. I need trifocals or progressive lenses so I end up having to pay an extra $200. above what the insurance pays. I have not been impressed with the quality of these glasses. The other day I was in a Walgreen's drug store and just for the heck of it tried on a pair of "multi-focal" Foster Grant over the counter glasses. I could see more clearly with these than I could with my persecution glasses. Far, mid range and driving distance were all great. The price? $35.00.
Any of you ever buy otc glasses?
 
Yes

After the stroke I had to go to the optometrist at my medical center and the test was long and detailed and I got the prescription they gave me on two different occasions and I couldn't see shit with them.

Like you I bought a set of three OTC glasses in a plastic wrapper and they work great.
 
Only reading glasses after I hit 40. Used to have the stashed all over the place, like an alcoholic does booze.

Then got multifocal contacts.

My prescription has been far too powerful for decades to be able to use OTC, plus I prefer contacts.

The left eye is a -7.5 and the right -6.5.
 
My Dad did.

With the advice from his Optometrist.
 
I have two pairs of varifocals which cost me £189 (I was conned!)
I get free reading and distance (driving) glasses every two years on the NHS

Never wears them forgets them, I knew how his dad was with his i kbew hed be the same I knew the eye dr just wanted to make a quick few hundred which the bifocals would just have been new lenses in a practically new frame.

Just last week I had to get (ordered) new eyeglass lense that cost me $555. These are trifocals with (no-line) progressive lenses (automatically changes to dark eyeglass lenses in sunlight), also with the "latest anti-glare" coating and they are made of plastic because glass lenses would be very thick.

Exactly 2 years ago I got new lenses at $520. I'm told a cataract(s) has grown a lot since my checkup last year. They can't change the lenses again so I will need a cataract removal the next time I start having vision issues.

I went in to have the lenses cut and fitted to my existing frames and the procedure usually takes 45 minutes. Two hours later I'm told the new lenses did not survive the cutting process and they have to reorder the lenses.

My insurance will also pay $100 (once a year) towards eyeglasses but I have to submit a form and an invoice because my eye clinic is out of network.
 
My next pair of glasses with frames this year will set me back about $1200.00.

The frames are the rip-off. Currently I have a pair of Tom Fords that probably cost $20 to make but retailed for $750.

And I have graduated lenses that, for the right eye, have never been satisfactory. grghhhh.

1 Sounds like you need a better eye dr if the glasses are never made right
2 You are only paying for the name you can find as stylish glasses for a hell of a lot less money.
