For those 4-eyed PTers....

[carole]

I became a four eyed pter over a year ago, had my test at the optician and prescription glasses from there, progressive lenses and they cost me $800,so I don't think your's are too bad considering,you won't know yourself in a while, takes time to get used to them, then you will love them i am sure.

progressive lenses and they cost me $800,

Wow! If you put every extra possible frill onto the lenses we sell in our office and even bought the most expensive frame you couldn't manage to spend $800 there.

caught red handed....

Oh Karen, I would find a way to work you in, even if everyone in our office wanted to skin me alive!

Pam my glasses are nothing extra special, the frames are modern and nice, but it is the prescription lenses that cost the money,and i donot have anything difficult really, keep in mind that is NZ dollars, but yes they are expensive, you would be lucky to get anything much cheaper, i even got a deal on the frames too so they were more expensive than that, also remember these are from an optician not something you can just buy in the shops,i do agree though the price is outrageous, my husbands would cost even more than that has he has to have more expensive lenses.

The price of getting old eh?
