My wife and I both wear bifocal glasses. We have been buying our glaseses from the optical dispensing arm of the doctor that examines our eyes. The glasses with frames, I realize the frames are a significant part of the cost, but the glasses have been costing us in $400 oi $500 range. We need to find a lower cost alternative.
Has anyone used the one that are always adverising on television, Americas Choice or others, WalMart or Sams Club? If so what are your thoughts and how have the glasses been, decent quality? Can you recommend a source for pressription eyeglasses?
Also, do the new Transitions type of lenses that darken when you go into the sun work behind the tinted glass in cars? I know years ago they did not.
Also does anyone have any type of discount vision insurance. What I mean is you pay a premium and get substantial discounts on your glasses. We have discount dental insurance that works that way and for a $199 annual premium for the two of us we save a substantial amount on our dental visits.
Thanks for any input or experiences.
