Typo, I'm surprised. You've got 20/50 and 20/100, right? I've got a much stronger script in both eyes and I get glasses from Zenni and Coastal (also glasses online) with no problems. They cost more than the hyped $49, but still under $150. What's making your script so expensive?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Well 20/50 and 20/100 are what I have *corrected*, not what I have without the prescription. That is what the glasses achieve. Without glasses I am simply legally blind. What makes the prescription so expensive in particular is that it has two prisms in one eye and one prism int he other. Some on-line place can't even handle prisms as strong as my eyeglasses do. But for Zenni and Google4U in general, the killer is not the size of the prisms but adding two prisms. For Coastal, there is a $19 surcharge for the strongth of my presscription and another larger surcharge for the mulitple prisms in one lens.

Ah, I see. No pun intended. I'm legally blind without correction too, but I don't have two prisms in one eye; I can imagine that would add a lot to the cost and the difficulty.

Wow, CostCo is really offering a lot of new services for members.

Costco turns out to be a lot cheaper. Like 63 instead of 150. Even if I have to buy a 55 dollar costco card I still come out ahead. But if I borrow a neighbors card, then I save more than half. How strongly does Costco enforce the card having the same name as your ID or prescription? I can pay cash using someone else's Costcxo card, but of course my own name will be on the prescription.

Do you need to be a Costco member to use their optometry service? Because you don't need to be a member to use their pharmacy. (I am not a Costco member, so I have no idea.)

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Typo, they will enforce it. But you can buy the glasses, and then get a refund in full on the membership at any time. I do find Costco useful for lots of other things though, and for bulk goods the prices cannot be beat. For just myself, my savings are greater than the membership fee every year.
