To sum it up, I had to get my eyes checked today. Needless to say, the prescription changed "just" enough to give me raging migraine headaches. So, after the exam, I begin browsing glasses. Now, I should probably say that I'm not a contact wearer. Apparently, the geniuses who created contacts have not yet mastered the contacts for people with MY kind of astigmatism. *Heavy Sigh* Anyway, back to the story. I'm browsing the frames, and I particularly like the half frames. (You know, the ones with rimless bottoms?) I'm browsing, browsing, browsing....BINGO! These are THE ones. Not just the, "eh, these'll work" ones, but THE ones. They're hella adorable, super cute, and when I put them on my face, they look great. Now time for the discreet price tag check, promptly followed by the very obvious gasp and gape. $400. For Frames. This doesn't include the actual part of the glasses that helps you SEE. Did you see me faint? Yeah, thought so. So....thank heavens for insurance and Flex Spending accounts because, really, I couldn't walk away, they were THE ones. After I finally paid for them...and cringed a bit as I signed the credit card receipt, I decided to go to EyeMasters for one of their super cheap, but pretty cute prescription sunglasses sale. Yeah, $125 later, I'm covered with UV protection.
Oh, the price you pay for vision. I mean....wow.
DID YOU GET YOUR TICKETS?
