ARGH ! Glasses broke
« on: February 18, 2011, 07:20:53 pm »
Freakin' 3 or 4 months old glasses, arm snapped off.  Wearing a spare set I had but they are making my eyes wonky, ARGH!

No good for me unfortunately.  I'm far sighted.  But I like to say non-sighted now.

I think it's the new autos.ca colours that did you in.   ;D

Lens crafters etc charge $300-$500 for a pair of glasses in my prescription.

I get them online for $50. No warranty unfortunatley on this set.  I'll order another.

At least with these $50 sets I can get 3 pairs for free with my benefits.  Where as I would only get.a refund of half of one at a store.

I think you can get 30% off too if you're a CAA member.

Frames aren't the expensive part and you can actually send your frames and they will out lenses in if you want which is great.

AB. I buy from a few places

My wife & I both buy our contacts & glasses from Clearlycontacts.  Fast service, we've never had an issue.
