Lost the things some years back, apparently long enough back that I’m not allowed to use my old rx.
So, got a new rx, new exam, picked out new frames, should be here by Christmas.

3/4 cheaper in my case.
My current glasses are from Nov 2023. I bought a pair from the optician adding several upgrades.
Figured I’d look unto buying a pair online as backups. The price difference amazed me. Approx $60 vs $300. I even paid a little extra for lighter lenses.
I wear the cheaper ones everyday.
unrelated - posted eleswhere i went to the optician today. i did not get glasses from them. Insurance covers part of the lenses only. no thanks. i paid my $10 copay and left with my prescription.
Damn, that much huh?
Well thank god for hypercapitalist healthcare, makes gauging the situation so much easier!
Apparently I really lucked out with my vision benefits, seems like most people in this thread are … yeah more or less paying nearly, or entirely out of pocket.
But I get to pay the nonsense fake prices with nonsense fake money.
… and that is my description of this as someone who had a career in stats and data analysis, educated as an econometrician.
This shit is insane, opaque, and confusing even to a data dork autist like me, christ.
