Here I am Kim! Actually I am probably of little to no help because I get my glasses at cost from the lab since I work for the doctor. Glasses can be amazingly expensive depending on all of the "frills" (thin lenses, photogray, progressive lenses, etc.) you can put on them. We have hired a girl to work in the optical shop part of our office so I am way out of touch with glasses and pricing, etc, since she has been with us two years now and figures it all out and writes it up. I can tell you that recently a husband and wife put $1,000 on their credit card because they each bought a pair of glasses. They sort of left the office in shock.

Edit: I tend to agree with you about the anti-reflective coating. We have many people complain that the coating comes off. Fortunately if it is within a reasonable time frame the lab will take them back and re-do them. You do have to be especially careful what you clean them with. I have anti-reflective on my lenses now but only got it because the price was right.
