Yeah, clear vision isn't worth much. Used glasses work just as well as used sofas do. If you don't have a sofa, you can sit on the floor, if you don't have glasses, you can drive into something you don't see or get somebody else to read things for you. [/all defensive and shit]

BTW, you *can* get inexpensive brand new glasses that will give you clear vision.

They're not too expensive for what they do, but for what they are - two little pieces of plastic with some wire to attach them to your face.

Like saying a tire is a wad of rubber that you slip on a rim, or that Jack Daniels is just some mashed corn that's been cooked for awhile.

I got my glasses the last two times at eyebuydirect.com. They were around $20-$30 with shipping. They work perfectly.

There's this thing where if something doesn't cost a lot, people think it is low quality. That's not rational thinking.

I get eye exams each year, and buy my contacts from 1-800-contacts, and my glasses from the web. To buy either from an eye doctor seems to be doing it wrong. Your doctor sends you to a pharmacy to get a drug prescription. Why should it be different with glasses/contacts?

Seconding eyebuydirect.com. I now own 5 pairs of glasses so I can change them to match my mood. And I got prescription sunglasses. And a "spare" for my husband, who likes to lose his.

ETA: I think I also have a couple of 5% off coupons lying around; if anyone's interested I can go look for 'em.

I think I'm going to buy my next suit on line.

If you have a trusted tailor measure you and then send the measurements off to the on-line suit maker, why not?

I'm curious. Do you have a trusted Optician who measures you?
