Took the plunge
These will be my new glasses! I went ahead and got them from Costco - so keeping my fingers crossed that the progressive lenses won't be any problem. The frames were $60 and the lenses were $170. I don't know what the lenses would cost at the optometry place where I had my eye exam, but just the few frames I looked at while there were $200 and I'm sure their lenses would have probably been double what I just paid at Costco. I paid about $500 for DH's frames and lenses at a different private optometry practice. I looked the frames up online and most places that listed a price for them was in the $160-$180 range. I tried on several frames and nothing jumped out at me or DD and then I saw these ones and we both instantly said they were the ones for my face.
I'll have to submit a claim to my vision insurance company and will get back $100 of what I just spent. Hopefully, I won't be on here in 10-14 days saying "oh I wish I hadn't done that"!

Yikes, so glad I had 6 eye surgeries so I can wear dollar store cheaters!
ReplyDeleteJust give the new glasses time - your brain needs time to adjust. At least that was my experience with the progressive lenses. Keep us posted - I'm due for new glasses, too, and am planning to try Costco after reading their good reviews in Consumers Report. Hopefully you'll be happy with them!
ReplyDeleteI hope they work out!
ReplyDeleteYour new frames are cute! :)
