At the risk of sounding like a smart-ass, have you guys tried contact lenses? I remove/replace mine religiously every six to twelve weeks (the clue to change is when things start looking like I am looking thru plastic wrap). And for those of "our" generation, there are bi-focal contact lenses that work great.
A set of $30-a-box lenses lasts me a year, because I clean them rather than throwing them away. D. On 11/29/06, Mitch Haley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

My optician hates cheap frames. So much that he sells some good ones for $56 (the most that insurance usually pays for frames). He doesn't make money on those, but he doesn't have to try to adjust crap frames because he doesn't sell crap. I ended up paying $165 for titanium, I intend to keep them for about ten years. I almost went for a set of $56 frames with spring box hinges. My system is to go to a good opthamologist who doesn't sell hardware, and get the glasses from a good optician who isn't part of a chain. His prices were lower than D.O.C.'s 60% off sale prices, and the lenses are ground, not molded. I think I paid $291 total for polycarb lenses in titanium frames. Would have been $182 with the insurance frames.
