    I not only have to pay to see, but I have also to pay huge markups for it??? Fucking hell.

    It was always weird to me how expensive glasses and lenses were, now I’m just pissed at being right.

      Yep. I go to Costco now because I’m blind in one eye so the correction is only for the other eye. Costco only charges me 50% of the normal lens cost and the blind eye just gets a balance lens (weight matched to the other without correction).

      I’ve walked out with a brand new pair of lenses and frames for $30 after my eye “insurance”.
