Cheaper Eyeglasses

I came across this post on 43folders this morning. I haven’t browsed over there for quite some time, so lucky me and perhaps you too that I came across this post. 43folders is Merlin Mann’s site that talks about personal productivity that’s based on a book titled “Getting Things Done” by David Allen. Getting Things Done offer a different way of organizing things in your life to make you more effective. I’d probably do a review a little later.

Back to eyeglasses. Like myself, Merlin Mann also wears prescription eyeglasses. If you are a short sighted person, you’ll know that they are expensive. In case you think prices ranging from $300 or more is the norm, a short confession from a retired optician says the real cost a they inccur to sell a pair to you.

As a retired Minneapolis optician I can tell you first hand that we bought our lenses in bulk and most single vision lenses cost less than $2.00 a pair, Bifocals and progressives cost us as much as $6.00 a pair. Frames ..Name brand, up to $10.00, same quality generics cost us much less. Online is the way I buy all of my eyewear, new glasses in under two weeks.

Looks like us, the eyeglasses fellas have been taken for a ride for a long time. But no longer. There are online options now! Prices range from as low as $26, writes Merlin. If you are trying to save a ton of cash on your next pair of eyeglasses, head on over here and get the full story how to get cheaper eyeglasses. Now if only I can get my eyeglasses online where I stay, I could have several pairs at least a spare pair just it case the first one is damaged.
