Prescription eyeglasses: $700. I was tired of tracking down cheaters all the time so decided to get "real" glasses I could leave on all the time. Big mistake. I got the kind that are bifocals w/o any lines. I didn't really understand what I was getting. They made the glasses, asked me to read a small card about 3" wide and 4" tall, and I could read it fine. Then when I got home I tried to read a computer screen with the glasses. Forget it - it was impossible! Wearing the glasses while moving made me feel sick because all the walls in a room seemed to be moving. The bifocal part of the glasses was still a small circle, like on old prescription glasses, but w/o the lines. So to read a book for example (much wider than the 3" index card they had me read before accepting the glasses), I had to move my head from left to right for every line on the page. Same for a computer screen. I put them in a drawer and never wore them. To solve the cheater problem, I bought different kinds for the kitchen (higher power for reading ingredient labels), bedroom (for book reading), office (computer), pocket (menus and grocery), and piano (half height so my fingers don't get magnified). I can get cheaters for $5/pair and usually buy 5 or so when I find ones I like. Cheaters (for me) work way better than prescription glasses.
