Pearl Vision ( big rip off Eye glass store ) sends them the prescription and Maui Jim fills it, yes
I bought my first pair of eyeglasses 2 years ago at age 40. I probably needed glasses around age 36, but kept putting it off. Anyway, I was told I needed bi-focals because I can't read up close or some shit so I get the ones with no line and all. The frames I got were Bvlgari which were $400. The sales dude tells me ok if you want a thinner glass it's another $250. No glare? That's $200. Anyway final bill for my first pair of glasses $1,200. I didn't have insurance at the time. Good times. I still wear them, but the lens is scratched and I need new pair.
since they cost you $1200, you should try to get the scratches buffed out. They do that at some places
Yeah they tried to get me for the " No Glare " crap too ... when I was looking at a regular pair of glasses
I'm just near sighted and I get an exam every 2 years.. My eyes got better this year ... lol ( Not sure how, since all the fuking time I spend in front of a computer )
but yes, when you need both, distance & reading.. the cost for the Lens is more.
No sun glasses are worth $300 IMO... I mean... Good sun glasses should cost $60-$100 tops
They buff scratches out? Just any place like pearl vision or something? That's good news because I've gotten to where I don't even want to wear them unless I am reading because of the scratches. I will go have them buffed today of its any eye place
Not sure if they do it, but guess you can make some calls before heading out.
If the Lens are Plastic .... you can forget it... must be Glass
The good thing is, you don't have the No Glare... before heard the buffing would remove that. LOL
No, I do have the no glare. I called 3 places and no one does it. Oh well. I heard they make bi-focal contacts so gonna go look into that.
Hopefully, I'm eligible for LASIK. I know some far sighted people are not. Need to go check it out.
