I go to a B&M store. Their selection of frames is absolutely riduculous. Maybe 2 ft of shelf space of style that I might even consider. I had to find the frames that I liked online and take it to them and they ordered it for me. I could have easily done it myself without their help. What value added benefit are they providing, I am not sure.
Screwed up my eye exam and consequently the lenses they made, had to go back to them to redo the whole thing. Got the lenses, 6 months later the AR coating came off. They did replace it to their credit. But it's something they should do, considering I paid almost 500 tokens *after* the insurance. Just $200 for the titanium frames alone - you know they are all made in asia now and their price cannot be justified, even high-end ones are not that good. I don't see how any frames from asia can cost $200. I found the same frames online for something like $79. Got a prescription for contacts and the optometrist was almost freaking out, told me I had to get them here and not "off the internet". I didn't even mention anything. I wonder why people go online, could it be that it costs between 500-1000 bucks to get eyeglasses? (eye exam, nice frames, lenses with high index and AR coating, etc.) And in this economy? They need to reduce the expenses or they will lose the business. The optiboard does not allow non-professionals to register, I guess our opinions don't matter, and we are not supposed to know the trade secrets. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Check us out at the oft-updated http://glassyeyes.blogspot.com!
