I went to the optometrist recently. I needed to buy two pairs of glasses.
I specifically told the sales guy that I didn't have $700 to spend, but I saw
they had decent frames for ~$70-80 and I figured the lens wouldn't be that expensive -
my prescription is not complicated - so I let him talk me into trying out some frames.
We went through the whole process and the price came
out to $670 for the pair. He was willing to give me a deal at $650. He was offended
when I told him I'd buy them online for $75 a pair instead.
(I have simple myopia but I spend all day on the computer and my eyes get tired.
I had the optometrist do the prescription at 20 feet like normal, then again at 2 feet,
specifically for computer use. It comes out slightly weaker than my normal prescription.
They also take a separate PD measurement for the computer glasses and it was a bit different.)
