Ok, I have had those glasses at least a year. But the frame broke. so I went to the Optical place and got me some more frames. That don't look that good but I had to get the ones I could afford. I seen a lot of nice frames but I could only afford thoses, they didn't even cost that much. $61.00 do you think that was a good price for those Frames? It only took the Optical 10 mins tto put them in.

that's a great price. my co-worker just paid $300 for his. which i think is a lot of money, but he said they were the cheap ones. so i say good for you, $61 is not a lot of money. of course you want to look good, but i thinking seeing is more important

Don't cha just hate when that happens!! Yes, I think that's a pretty good price compared to all those designer type frames that they sell. I have to get those lightweight hypoallergenic surgical stainless steel frames, and they always cost a bundle. I'm allergic to metal, but I like the wire frames because they're so much lighter and don't slide down my nose as much. The frames usually cost me almost as much as the tri-focal part does! When you think about it, it's really ridiculous what they charge for frames. The plastic ones probably only have 50 cents to a dollars worth of plastic in it, and how hard can it be to pour the plastic into the frame mold multiple times?! I guess they charge for the name brand more than the actual materials that's in them. Glad you didn't break the lenses on top!

Yeah I don't think the Lenses will break. I glad they didn't break too. I like thise frames that look like you can't see the frames they are clear. the person that fixed my Glasses had some on. I would of rather had those, but I could only afford the one I had. but I think the next pr. of glasses I get wil be the ones that look like they don't have a frame on them. yYou know the ones/ Have you seen those before? Ok, I am going back your way. I should be in the Area about an hour from now. I am headed out to Thistle D. I will chat later with you!

That is a good price for frames these days. Mine usually cost around 100 or more. You should have uploaded a pic so we could check them out. :)
