The optometrist recommended seamless bifocals. I have a very painful nerve condition in my face (atypical trigeminal neuralgia), so this is what I need with glasses: the lightest weight frames possible- known as ultra light- with the lightest weight lenses possible and automatically darkening lenses so I don’t need the weight of sunglasses. The cheapest frames brought the total to $250 on the site the insurance worked with.
The frames are $20 on the cheap site. Everything else in the cost is the lenses.
As for why I have to buy them online- I don’t want anyone touching my face unless it’s absolutely necessary. The exam was painful enough.
American for-profit healthcare is fucking awesome.

And yet you can still get them for under $50 when those are usually being sold for over $200. It’s because they have a designer label on them. I’m sure you understand that.

Why you think I care what you spend your money on, I don’t know. I never made this personal.
So what’s your complaint here? Why are you making a big deal about how I suggested some really nice glasses that cost half what you posted about?
All I was saying was that they seemed really overpriced. I’m sorry you took it personally, but I never made it personal.
Also, I would suggest it is not especially helpful to offer a link to expensive frames when someone is infuriated about how much they had to pay for glasses.
