Spectacular fred.  Although I could see it coming from a long way off.

Oh, spectacles...  I misread the topic title to have something to do with becoming a glass eye snob and jumped in to read with curiousity.  Imagine my disappointment.

Mike, I got my varifocals on a 'buy one get one free' deal a couple of years back.

For my regular set, I shelled out quite a bit extra for Nikon lenses. On my 'free' pair, I chose 'standard' quality tinted optics (for use as sunglasses).

Putting aside the tinting, the difference in quality between the two pairs is incredible. The Nikon lenses are much thinner for a start, but their 'sweet spot' is much larger - both these factors make them much more comfortable to wear. I find myself (subconsciously) having to turn my head a lot more to focus with the cheaper lenses.

I'm due an eye test this month, and if my prescription is changed, I'm definitely going to go with the better quality lenses again, these were worth every penny.

Four eyes....

Not a recommendation or anything, but I saw that the Optical center at Walmart offers Nikon lenses...

I rather enjoyed the hunt for my husband's glasses as well. :)

I was talking with a guy the other day who had this indentation across the bridge of his nose.  I asked him how he got it and he replied "Glasses."  I said "Have you ever considered contact lenses?"  To which he replied "Nah, they don't hold enough beer."
