The optometrist recommended seamless bifocals. I have a very painful nerve condition in my face (atypical trigeminal neuralgia), so this is what I need with glasses: the lightest weight frames possible- known as ultra light- with the lightest weight lenses possible and automatically darkening lenses so I don’t need the weight of sunglasses. The cheapest frames brought the total to $250 on the site the insurance worked with.
The frames are $20 on the cheap site. Everything else in the cost is the lenses.
As for why I have to buy them online- I don’t want anyone touching my face unless it’s absolutely necessary. The exam was painful enough.
American for-profit healthcare is fucking awesome.
Why you think I care what you spend your money on, I don’t know. I never made this personal.
So what’s your complaint here? Why are you making a big deal about how I suggested some really nice glasses that cost half what you posted about?
All I was saying was that they seemed really overpriced. I’m sorry you took it personally, but I never made it personal.
Also, I would suggest it is not especially helpful to offer a link to expensive frames when someone is infuriated about how much they had to pay for glasses.
You said so much more than that, and they’re half the price you paid. There’s alternatives.
