The time has finally come.
I broke down and bought glasses. I have needed them for about 2 years, but didn’t want the hassle, but the headaches got to be too much.
Being frugal, I couldn’t bring myself to pay the optometrist price. I tried on what I was interested in, then found them online at www.simplyeyeglasses.com, an 
exact match, for $241 with all the bells and whistles instead of $550 from the eye doctor.
I then tried the el cheapo place, www.zennioptical.com. $8 prescription eyeglasses. Seriously! I ordered these without the progressive lenses. Then I ordered another pair from Zenni and decked them out as my 
sunglasses. both pair, after necessary bells and whistles, without the progressive lenses - $20 each.
I like them all very much.
Can you tell which pair cost the extra $220?
