Damn bars...I've almost lost these things so many times but it finally happened last night.

anyways..I need to get a new pair asap because my drivers license says I have to wear them.

So i'm guessing I can just call up my eye doctor where I originally got them and ask for the subscription? and then take that anywhere I want to go ?

Anyone ever been to lenscrafters? walmart? I want a place with lots of frames and that can get me the glasses the same day.


thanks

Well you can go to lenscrafters or pearl's one hour shop. They have a nice selection. All you need is the rx, but they like it to be less than a year old.

You won't be getting out of there cheap though. :(

Get ready to spend around $250. That coupon probably only applies to frames $100 and up.

this sucks. I can't imagine how things like without my glasses now. I will probably see more hot chicks in my eyes :D

i only go to lenscrafters around here. The lenses at the other places suck, and no one has selection (altho, i'm still very hard pressed to find something i like at lenscrafters). Of course, this is just around me...

as for contacts.. don't need em for being nearsighted.. i get sick trying to read or use the computer w/ my glasses :p

I get mine at lenscrafters. You get them within an hour.

They have a good selection but the service isn't top notch.

Lenscrafters is great & very fast, but not inexpensive.

If you are a member of AAA, flash your card & save 30% off complete pairs (frame and Rx Lens) of eyewear or non-prescription sunwear. The discount cannot be used with Maui Jim, Bvlgari, or Cartier frames.
