    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.

    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 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.

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

            Mine was as well, until I hit age 45.

            The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
