Cheaper than some, much more expensive than others.

This is what I do too, I have been using wholesalers for some time. Unfortunately I am clumsy enough to sit on and/or lose my glasses pretty regularly so the $20 frames are the best solution.

Post Lens Choices

Consider glass lenses ~ slightly higher cost, much longer lifespan...

They'll try to say no, you simply tell them glass lenses are required in your job because of the chemical vapors....

Depending upon the size of the lens and strength of the Rx, the glasses could be very very heavy and hard to wear. If you are used to poly lenses, the difference will be substantial.

I can always get glass bifocals including new wire frames for under $400, a big hit for me .

As far who'd work in such conditions, not everyone is rich or educated enough to pick and choose their livelihood .


If you like to use gasoline, someone has to work in *very* bad air to make it .

That is way too expensive under normal circumstances but I guess if that's all that was open. Those lenses should not have been more that $200 at the top and and another $60 for a frame.

Can't believe how some places rip people off. No conscience.

Well all I could get,much nicer than wal mart or the VA. Last 3 pair really not satified with right eye. This time they got it right,as they don't have to rush. They were so kind,I gave them my business.

I bought expensive glasses for myself to last a long time. Cheap ones break down quickly.

Go away. You're an idiot and have no idea what you're talking about.

God I hate spamers.
