I have been noticing lately that I can't read the description of the TV show the small blurb above the program. Seems a sign of needing new glasses to me. I have had these maybe 4 years or a bit less. I will have to see what is covered now with my insurance plan. Last time I lucked out and everything was covered which is really good for progressives. I liked the frames too. Before I make an appointment I will find out what my allowance is. I don't like going to the eye doctor, but I suspect I am due. When was the last time you got new glasses, if you wear them?

a necessary evil. I wonder if I could get the lenses put in my old frames? They would do that at Costco.

@snowy22315 I bet you could. I donate a pair of frames and am kicking myself now. They were awesome frames.

I hope so...but with budget cuts and all, I would be surprised if they are.

I can read without having glasses on, but I do really need them for distance.

I discussed this with my son just yesterday. I think it’s been 4-5 years since mine were changed. I don’t have vision insurance but I will go as soon as I can make it work.

I have worn bifocals since my 20's, they are always more expensive, unfortunately.

I don't really need mine for reading, unless the print is small or rhe room ia kind of dark.

I am in line of getting a new pair of glasses when I get my next eye exam later this fall.
