[quote MacMagus]> As an aside note, LensCrafters gives a flat 30% discount with your AAA membership card...
That's where I go.
I move a lot and I've tried lots of different places -- their discount is the best, their selection is very good and they usually have an eye doctor in an adjacent office who has to take the AAA discount and keep "mall hours" because of his affiliation so the exam is cheap and convenient.
When someone mentioned the AAA discount, I was reminded of a thing I'd gotten from my health insurance provider. I rummaged through my file and found it, and it's good for a 35% discount for new frames and lenses at several local opticians, including both LensCrafters and the independent place I'd been going to for years. The discount is 20% for new lenses only, but that's better than nothing.
I think I'm going to see if Costco will let me use these new frames for single vision lenses just for the computer, and then I'll go somewhere else for the progressives. I've been wanting a special pair to use at the computer anyway, because I never have been able to get my 20" iMac positioned so that it's comfortable to use. It hasn't been turned on in weeks, which is a shame.
