my little golden eyes
Apr. 7th, 2008 09:00 pmTook another day off work in attempt to wipe the ick once and for all, to some avail. Nose firmly back to grindstone tomorrow, but not without some sticker shock:
I went to my annual eye doctor's appointment today and was disappointed both that my eyes have gotten worse and that the price of glasses is so staggering. It's been a couple of years since my last pair and even though D. wasn't working then I still don't remember my current frames costing that much!*
I took a quick cruise of the glasses shops at the local mall and tried on a few pair, and for the past hour or so I've been snooping around online to see if I can't find a bargain (or hell, just cheaper than what my doc's office is charging) and I'm already tired of looking at frames: I took the measurements off my current set and it rather limits my options as they're made for kids!
I think I've found one option that's well over the $40 promised at the site above but still substantially less than the ~$450(!) I was offered today. Any suggestions of small, local frames shops not eager to pick my pocket are most welcome!
*Don't even start me about the allergy eye drops I coughed up for. Tiniest bottle in the world. They'd better work, and I'd better always get them in right the first time :P
