I have 6 different problems with my eyesight, so it's always around the 380$ for me - and I'm going with the cheap options, usually.
Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I am still willing to shill for www.zennioptical.com. I have astigmatism, hella nearsightedness and need the thin lenses, and still, most glasses are under $30. I think the profit margin on glasses is just crazy.

Our wings are not tired.
That sounds perfect for DH, Sophia. He is the worst about losing glasses. I should always have a spare pair or two around for him. I use contacts, but they don't work for him.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
I am also a convert to zennioptical. Great glasses, no mark up. I even had my optometrist test my lenses when they came in and they got a 100%.
eta: the glasses i'm wearing right now? Less than $20, including shipping and astigmatism...tho i didn't shell out for the anti-reflective coating this time around.

That looks like a great site. I'll have to see about getting a back-up pair or two from there.

I was looking at them last night. Mine would be more like $40 with the upcharges, but yeah, I might order a pair.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Three seconds on the zennioptical page and I want these: [link] In the black/red combo, natch.
And these: [link] And now I need to stop looking.

I was looking at that second pair, too, smonster. They're very similar to a pair of sunglasses I had, back when I wore contact lenses.
ETA: I'd want them in bronze, though, which they don't have. Silver might work, but black would probably be a little hard for my skin tones.
