A comparison of price for glasses:
The place I'd been going quoted me the following, which would be virtually identical to what I'd been using happily for six years:
Progressive lenses (Varilux): $235
High Index: $90
Anti-reflective coating: $95
Gag. A total of $420, plus tax for lenses only.
Costco:
Progressive lenses (Ovation) $100
High Index: $30
Anti-reflective: $30
Frames: $60
Total: $220, plus tax, for a complete pair of new glasses
Unfortunately, it looks like I may have to buy those expensive lenses from the independent after all.
It appears I just learned a very expensive lesson, so I hope somebody else can get some good out of my money.
You forgot to include the cost of the frames at the independent. And if you can't use the ones you bought you could always donate them to the Lions CLub or some organization that can put them to use.
Sorry it was such an expensive lesson.
