I suggest you obtain more information about the condition of your eyes. Never make a purchase of that nature unless you have a list of information, reasons, medical documentation and a contract of sale right in front of your face. Make certainly that you actually need the frames, and be certainly to read all the fine print. If there's someone that you don't understand, be certainly to find out what it means before signing.

I know what you mean, my frames cost me a little over $400. High technique Robbery.

$400 frames are not going to make you observe better. You'll look amazing though! Go observe another optometrist if you're not satisfied

don't obtain the optometrist mixed up with people that sell frames after getting your eye ck out you could go to other stores to obtain the prescription filled try eye mart

I obtain my eye exams and glasses at Wal-Mart. I got an great examination and my frames cost me $70.00. I have had amazing comments on the appearance of my glasses. I can absolutely afford to spend much more but I don't feel like I have to have designer frames. I have had them in the past and you don't observe any better with $400 frames. I'm sticking with Wal-Mart. Optometrist are minute business owners and that is how they make their wealth by encouraging patients to purchase the more costly frames.

First off i think you're referring to the Optician, the Optometrist is the one who is going to prescribe your glasses and the optician is the one who does the sale. As far as the $400 frames, go to some place like wal-mart where some nice frames can be found for under $130.....

ophthalmologists sell glasses too! so if you're going to blame your OD for ripping you off, you're going to have to include the MD's in there as well.



uhohspaghettioh is completely misinformed. i was going to use more insulting words than that, but i have chosen not to in a public forum like this. to put it mildly, he/she has Night shift can be totally fine for the body and mind. It is not prizeful for you if you couldnot adjust to it, and still have the urge to sleep at night. no idea what they are talking about.



"An optometrist has optical training with very little medical training"



thats an intriguing statement, seeing as how about 7/8 of my training was medical. optometrists are DOCTORS, ya know. its a doctorate profession.



"Believe it or not in some states an optometrist, without an MD, can perform eye surgery. Even though they can't prescribe any medications."



optometrists is EVERY SINGLE STATE can and do Rx medications. ALL 50 STATES. you dont have any idea what you're talking about.



"Oklahoma had a almighty thing about wanting to ban anybody who is not a surgeon from performing surgery. The optometrists were the biggest lobby against it. That was about five years ago. I don't know how it turned out."



well i'll tell you how it turned out: THE OPTOMETRISTS WON and they still provide surgical procedures. why not? a dentist does some surgery...a podiatrist does some surgery... you have no idea what you're talking about.
