Title: how long has it been since u have had a new pair of glasses?
Post by: kangagirl1321 on November 03, 2011, 03:56:37 pm: it has been almost 2 years for me so i am gonna call a low cost/free clinic around here and make an appointment and see what i can do about getting an eye exam and new glasses for free or next to nothing. i think it's over due.

Post by: jorhea on November 03, 2011, 05:15:28 pm: I don't remember when I last got glasses but it has been over 2 years. I went to the eye dr. last week to get a new prescription so I can get some new ones soon.

Post by: dkanofsky on November 04, 2011, 05:28:07 am: I've been wearing glasses for 15 years and last year was the first year I needed glasses for reading and long distance. They do work well though. ;) ;) ;)

Post by: gaylasue on November 04, 2011, 05:58:35 am: It's been about five years since I had new glasses. I am definitely ready for new ones as soon as I get enough extra money to pay for them.

Post by: tammypete on November 04, 2011, 06:29:59 am: Its been a year for me since I got new glasses. My family and I have been going to Americas Best. There are several throughout the southern states. You can get 2 pair of glasses including an eye exam for less than $80. I am sure that speciality glass lens and frames are extra but its alot cheaper than a traditional eye dr.

Post by: amstewart on November 04, 2011, 06:58:17 am: I've worn glasses for 25 years. With our current insurance, I can get new glasses every other year. I'm due this year and still haven't found a pair that I like. I have a small face and bridge (nose area) so it's hard to get a trendy pair that fits. It is a hassle every time, but I'm still on the hunt. I have 2 months left to find something!

Post by: Gerianne on November 04, 2011, 08:36:06 am: I wore glasses when I was younger in grade school and when I was doing library computer work.
I don't need them anymore.
I was "nearsighted"; I can see at a distance now.

there is a book out called "Take off You Glasses and See".

Post by: sommap on November 04, 2011, 09:41:52 am: It has been a few years. I know I am due when I can see distances better without my glasses. I wear trifocals and it is difficult to get ones tht work when I am on the computer.

Post by: dwggs on November 04, 2011, 11:28:05 am: I just recently got a new pair of glasses -- but it has been at least 10 years since my last pair.

I wear contact lenses most of the time but due to recent cataract surgery that implanted a prescription
in my left eye I needed to get a new pair that has plain glass for my that eye.

Post by: diala84 on November 04, 2011, 12:24:23 pm: I've had mine about 2 years. My prescription has stayed pretty consistent most of my life so before that the last time I bought glasses was about 6 years. I only really get new ones if my glasses are falling apart or if I notice a substantial difference in my ability to see otherwise I just get them when I need them. If I had insurance to cover it I might go in more often.

Post by: mrisha on November 04, 2011, 02:37:19 pm: It's been a little over 2 years. I am over due. Early this year, I went to America's best thinking I would get a good deal, and they were way to expensive for me to buy,
