I Got What I Paid For--Again!

I love my new glasses. They look the same as my old ones (as in my accompanying photo). They are the old frames with a new prescription.

When I found out I needed new glasses I foolishly tried to save a few bucks by going to Lenscrafters. I first was sold new frames that were too small to carry my progressive lens prescription. When I switched to different frames and larger lenses they could not/did not make them so that I could read comfortably with them. I could only see a small part of a line of a book at a time. That is not how I read--one of my favorite pastimes. After multiple visits back to the Lenscrafters store and adjustments to the frames (they said nothing was wrong with the lenses) I finally gave up and started using el-cheepo reading glasses for reading books.

Then a couple of weeks ago, as the Stock Market appeared to be going up and I felt I was no longer on my way to the Poorhouse, I decided to ditch the Lenscrafters product and went to Guilford Vision Center to see what they could do. They knew exactly how to deal with my field of vision "problem" and ordered new lenses that work beautifully. (I should have gone there in the first place!)

"You get what you pay for" is certainly true in this case--as it was with my cell phone service. (Ask me about my abortive move to Virgin Mobile.) I will stop by Lenscrafters one more time to tell them where to put the glasses they made--and the sun doesn't shine there.
