My glasses I’ve always been about $1000 each. Can’t wait to have cataract surgery in two months, then the cost of my glasses goes down!


They gave me a new script for glasses after my 3rd eye surgery. The glasses were over $1,300 each pair without new frames (my old ones were 6 or so months old and they reused them which surprised me), but that’s fine I can see now. You will probably need special sunglasses also like me in addition to regular trifocal glasses.

The dang state still has not removed the medical hold on my DL from last June. When I called last week they said another few weeks and you will be cleared, so figure 8 weeks minimum to clear it up if your doctor turns you in. I’m not approved for night driving, just day driving that seems to be part of the hold up.

How come the new glasses are so expensive? I was hoping my would be less. I’m so myopic that I have to pay for the super ultra thin material. Which ends up not being so thin for me especially after starting to grow cataracts.

I’ve heard of that, people having their license changed because of cataract restrictions. How does that happen, how does the DMV even get notified? I did ground myself from driving at all before I got my new glasses. And I’m just about ready to ground myself from driving at night, so I’m glad daylight savings is coming.
