Something happens and I'm head over heels
I never find out until I'm head over heels
Something happens and I'm head over heels
Ah, don't take my heart, don't break my heart
Don't, don't, don't throw it away

Went to the eye doctor on Friday. Just the annual check-up. Everything was good, my prescription for my glasses changed slightly and since it's been 4 years since I got my last pair, I figured I should finally get another pair. Even though the script on my glasses has changed in the last 4 years, my old pair has still been fine. I really only need them to read small print and to better focus when reading. Staring at drawings and paperwork at work all day, I definitely need them for that. So I go through, find a pair of frames I like and she goes through all the "add ons" (polycarb lens material, blue light blocking coating, anti-scratch, etc.) and even after what my insurance covers, it was still $517 for the new pair (it would have been just under $1000 without insurance). Ridiculous how much shit costs now. The biggest cost was actually the polycarb lenses, that was $475 (pre-insurance) all by itself.

Order online.... eyebuydirect.com is one I have used. Literally 80% cheaper.

How do you get the lines properly set in a progressive lense like that?

Exactly, I need to have the glasses measured when I order them. Plus, most online places don't take insurance from my experiences.

mine were always fine and way cheaper than the cost net of insurance from retail

Just doing my poor people tricks... I am sure your private fitting was worth the cash, Scrooge McDuck.

"Private Fitting"

I use Zenni.com. Cheap good quality glasses. Since my Bro in law is in the field he usually does all the measurements for me.

I have used Zenni, but they come straight from a Chinese factory.

It wasn't a true private fitting unless you were naked AND strapped down.
