Prayers sent!

One thing most folks don’t know is that you can order glasses online from places like zinni optical for a tiny fraction of what the chain stores charge. I paid ~$30 dollars shipped and that included extra charges for my extra high power prescription. Your optometrist is required to give you the prescription in most states if you ask. Make sure to ask for the Pupilary Distance measurement as that’s often not provided.

I second that. I have had lots of eye problems, and six eye surgeries; and I do very well buying eyeglasses cheaply online. I once paid close to $1,000 for two pairs from LensCrafters. Never again. I have had success with Zenni, EyeBuy Direct and one other company whose name escapes me.
