My lenses were paid for by medicare and other insurance. I could not afford the top of the line but they still used nice ones.
The Dr. said they were made in Canada. It has been almost ten years and my vision has deteriorated a tiny bit but still easily passed my drivers license test a year ago.
I can read a book in good light without reading glasses. Other wise I use fairly weak ones. Distance vision is excellent.
That's an idea -- get used ones to save money. I might look into that. /sorry
I would be thoroghly pleased with that outcome.
