Glasses?

[George K]

I have a pair of $20 full-frame readers at 2.75. They're great for around the house, but not good for distance. If I need to see something in the next room, I simply look over the lens.

When I leave the house to drive, I have a pair of 2.75 bifocals, with no correction on the top. Again, about $20.

Works for me.

More expensive glasses are purely for fashion, all the cheap ones look like they came from Walmart, not that it’s necessarily a bad thing.

If you spring for shoes, $20 readers make no sense.

Some people even buy neckties at Walmart.

Of course! So you would be nuts to pay even 20. I have a few 3 for 13 Costco purchases under my belt. One pair of expensive also has me be more careful and pay attention to where they are. Heck I might be saving money.

My advice is get your eyes tested and talk to an optician.

I wouldn't go anywhere near those shite things from Walmart, but I've got astigmatism and have to wear progressives all the time.

Embrace it for what it gives you. When I first needed bifocals I was wearing contacts still so I bought some little half-highs. They were great. I could look up over them at meetings and any adversary would very often just wilt. I loved it.

The Tommy Lee Jones. Awesome.

Exactly! That image immediately popped into my head.

Tell that to my eyes, one of which is nearsighted and the other is significantly farsighted. It used to be great when I was younger. I could see up close and very far. Now I have to wear glasses all the time. I even failed the eyesight test at the DMV! 🤨

I'm wearing a pair of $69 bificals from Eyebuydirect. The prescription is spot-on.

Mine was as well, until I hit age 45.
