CHRYSTAL ASHTRAY SIZE......SINCE BIRTH.

i sympathize. i switched to contacts because my glasses were so thick i could only see straight ahead, anything else was heavily distorted. even with the lenses i cannot see as well as someone with correct vision.

last time i went to the eye doctor i could not see anything on the vision board. nada. she was, like, "hmm, let me try this, how many fingers can you see?" i said: "fingers???!!!". i could barely see she lifted her arm. true story.

Laser for you, girl...

Look at that option...

Bye bye goggles

i do not really qualify for laser surgery and all of my doctors advise against it. maybe IOLs, in the future. i'd have to think about it.

I fully agreee......many folks do not qualify.....If you use a good Doctor, you will see that many folks are being turned down for many different reasons.......

i feel for you. last time i has glasses made (i have an emergency pair) i had to pay twice the price of lower level prescription - and that was a special offer too! the thickness of glass also narrows frame choices, not every frame will fit the lens comfortably and still look decent. this is also why it's better you had everything done locally.

hope you like your glasses :glasses:

thanks for posting back POTUS. that is a darn good price and no way could you have done that trying to buy them online plus any adjustments you can have it done where they were purchased.

Quick update: Spent the first day at the pool yesterday with my new glasses. Could not be happier.......what a treat. And the change from dark to bright/clear is very fast.....

Good day,

I arrived many moons ago from the USA with several eyeglasses. My eyes are pretty bad.
The time has come where I do need to purchase new ones. Any recommandation on an Optica? It seems that Optica Lopez is a major outlet. I am looking in Santo Domingo.
Also, I am interested in transition glasses. Are these a lot more expensive than regular ones?

Thank you.

I order glasses online - Zenni Optical - Glasses Online – Prescription Glasses

My son has +3.5 and +4. I go and get his eyes checked at a place, have them write down all of the information and then order them through Zenni. Very inexpensive and good quality.

regular glasses do not work for me anymore. i really like his transition glasses tho. seems like a good idea in DR.

I have used progressive lenses for several years now. I get them at Costco when we go home. A good pair of frames, thin lenses, coatings etc runs about $500 can (375 us).
In the past I used the transition lenses but found they burn out and quit changing within 12 to 18 months.
I have not found a good place in the PC area to price them out yet.

Don't you guys watch TV? You're paying too much for glasses!

I got Lasik done on both eyes back in the early 80's. Paid $700 per eye. Hated the results for the first few months, but now I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

Mr AE and I see an ophthalmologist regularly, but stopped getting our glasses there years ago. You can’t beat America’s Best, even the exam is excellent and free. The only downside is it takes about 2 weeks for the glasses to arrive, so when we have Dominican family visiting we take them there right away.
