I went to my optometrist for my every other year eye exam. Turns out I need a new prescription, and the optical department at Sears said the best they could do for price was $269.
Is this out of line for new glasses? I wasn't happy with the quality of the glasses I bought last time, and the frames offered with the $269 glasses are pretty boring. Should I try one of the on-line places like Zenni? Join a wholesale club? I really don't have almost $300 to spend on glasses right now, plus I really think I was being pressured to select new glasses on the spot. The ones I really liked were the *men's* glasses my friend Todd was wearing, and which he let me try on for a lark...and they're from BJ's, which I don't belong to.
Any suggestions? Has anyone tried on-line opticians? Thanks in advance -
