Hey guys...

Turns out, I am midly nearsighted....My ins doesn't cover frames/contacts. I do have a Flex Spending Account that I can use, with about 400 dollars to burn...

Where can I get some good frames? I would prefer some sunglasses to start out. I am in the printing field, so safety glasses would work too.


Any ideas?

I've been going to For Eyes since age 9.  They're pretty inexpensive(Compared to Lenscrafters.)  My dad goes to Lenscrafters but they're super expensive but they make them in an hour.)  But For Eyes is good stuff.

Lenscrafters=$200+

For Eyes=$69-$119?

Id get contacts, glasses are a pain in the ass.  I just switched form glasses to contacts.

It takes about 3 days to get used to putting on and off, but then its okay.

I go to a local jobber in town.  Relatively cheap, and I had my glasses made and ready to go in a couple hours.

My experience with Lenscrafters is the same as already mentioned, they were good, but really expensive.  Like almost $400 expensive, but I got those when I was in 6th grade.  My glasses from American Eye Care were $170ish, frame and lenses.

Buying frames where you get you glasses is a racket.  Plus, they are poor quality.

Figure out your frame size and order ahead from these guys: www.randolphusa.com/c-7-rx-frames.aspx

I wore the RE-350 for years until I got Lasik.
