| Nothing like looking like an old fart! I got new glasses...I needed one more pair so I wouldn't have to dig the reading glasses out of my purse all the time. THe frames are so much money. So I go to the bargin bin and get a pare out that look alot like my other very exspensive ones... I was so pleased to only pay $30.00 Then My husband draws my attention to the fact that they slightly turn up (LIKE CAT EYE GLASSES IN THE 60's!!! ) I hadn't noticed this before but if you REALLY LOOK.... He is right! I am 47 and fighting it every inch of the way!!!! Man this was a blow... I am old but I don't want to LOOK it!

| I wear glasses (and contacts) and my glasses are $400 and up. It drives me crazy. I am one of those people that have to have several pairs to match outfits..............I would hate having to wear the same old pair all the time. I just think it would get boring. I was in Costco about 4 months ago and decided to take a look at their frames. They have great frames. High end designer brands. I got two pairs for a little less then it would of cost me for one at the reg. eye doctor! I was so pleased. I plan to go back this month for another pair!

I discovered this little "secret" last year! Last time I got a pair of Dolce and Gabbana frames for $40! Last week I got a pair of Bulova frames. With the lenses it cost $179. So exciting! | |

| AAAAhem... I TRIED THE BIFOCALS...(A huge blow to my self esteam I might add...) But I couldn't stand them. I was hunting for words with my head...(Imagine me moving my head all around trying to find where the words are magnified!) I wound up taking them back and getting reading glasses that I have to take off when I'm not reading... Huge pain in the neck. Oh well at least I can still see!!!

| Believe me, they're not just for 60 year olds..I had a choice of bifocals or reg. glasses..Well, I'm a little bit near sighted(had 20/20 vision up until last year) and I'm only 51..anyway, I got the new celine dion frames(and they don't look too bad)..I only wear them when I'm driving(If I want)..and I have the cheapo glasses from dollar general just for reading up close...most of the time, I just squint..have you noticed the older we get, the smaller they're making the print on asprins and shampoo bottles?? |

| I've got 4 different pairs of glasses, and I bought the frames on eBay for like 15 bucks a piece. I will NEVER buy them from the optometrist again now that I know how much they mark them up. Oh, and cat eye frames are VERY in right now. I bought a pair that used to belong to someone's grandmother, and I get tons of compliments on them! 100_1035.JPGhair and misc 001.JPG I'll try to find pics of the other two pair.

| I went and took pics of the other two pair. I love having a choice of which ones to wear, especially because I can't go without my glasses. I've been wearing them for 15 years! IMG00664.JPGIMG00665.JPGIMG00666.JPG I have always wanted to make the last ones Rx, but don't think I'll ever do it.

http://www.stlukeseye.com/eyeq/monovision.asp I wear only one contact lenses and use one eye for distance and one eye for closeup. I hated glasses all my life, and I would lose them all the time. Got contacts at 16 and have not worn glasses since. Ask your doctor about it. This is not for everybody, but perhaps you are a candidate. I would have Lasik monovision surgery if I were not such a scaredy Kat!

| I do the monovision thing, too. Have been for about 10 years. I get the 2-week disposable's, take them out at nite and make them last for 6 months or more. I am going on my 3rd year with my original 6 month box of contacts. I had a pair of blended in trifocals but the prescriptions were all wrong. I am going to break down and get a pair of glasses, tho. It's hard to drive at nite with only one contact in. If you do go with the monovision - remember to take glasses when you go to the DMV for your license renewal eye test, lol. They won't pass you with only one good eye.

I did not bring glasses with me. Then you send that form in to renew your license for 8 years. My assistant principal is blind in one eye and has a driver's license. I do not know about PA though. Each state is different. I am still on my first "year's" supply of daily wear. It has been a year and a half and I have plenty left. I switch lenses every month so my year's supply can last me forever it seems. 1-800-CONTACTS. Good price for more than a year's supply (370$ if I remember correctly.) Oh, and mine are astigmatic also. (Toric HydroCurve???) I do have a cute pair of glasses for "just in case". Got them at Walmarts in FL for 85$ 2 years ago. Never wore them.
