New Glasses!

[RobiLee]

Thanks for the site, Karen!!

I also need to make an appointment with the eye doctor and I'd love to get some new glasses.

There are so many fun styles now, and I, for one, so needed a new prescription - I look forward to getting them. My prescription is so strong I need the more expensive lenses, but it is worth it to see! And Robilee you have such pretty eyes anyway, must be fun trying different glasses to see what shows them off best!

I havn't purchased any glasses online yet but my husband and I plant to do this in the next couple of months. We just have to get the current prescription for our eyes first. I think this is a grand idea! I am so excited that I am going to have more than one pair of glasses at a time. I won't be as worried about a pair of glasses getting broken.

I need new screen glasses and I've been to 5 or 6 different opticians to look at frames. It seems that what's "in" now are the thick ugly plastic frames! I did find a few that might be alright, though. They are light "metal" frames, like I've always had.

Price wise they range from $35 - $574 for the frame. The expensive ones are Lindberg. Then there's the lenses, which are in between minus 4-5, since it's screen glasses, but I don't need those that change color, since I won't use them outside.

When it comes to glasses, I simply have to try them on! However, if I could find some online that I've tried on, then one of the opticians offered put the lenses in.

Argh, it's so hard to decide!

I got my new glasses, and they are great! They didn't fit - kept falling down my nose, so I took them to a local optician. I explained I bought them online, as they let me upload a photo and try on frames that way, and he had no problem - he adjusted and tightened them, and when I asked how much I owed him, he said "no charge." They are the lightest pair I have had in a long time, and even slightly flexible!
