I need glasses for driving because I can't read awesomely at long distances and the optician says I'm a danger if I don't have any, so I submitted after a several minute long sleeper hold and decided to go ahead and get some glasses. I get the lenses free because I'm still in full time education but the frames I have to pay for myself.

So, I wandered around and I found myself screaming until my lungs bled "Why the hell are they all so gosh darn expensive?!" It's a little piece of metal to hold two pieces of glass in front of my eyes, even the little pieces of glass, the ones that are carefully laser-cut to my eyes special requirements, are free. It's a piece of frickin' metal and if you want a piece of metal that doesn't cut into your forehead you have to pay upwards of £85.

What the hell are they trying to acheive? Just because they're opticians and therefore failed medical school, much like dentists and Puerto Ricans, they are angry at the world so try and hurt other people by being overcharing anal-punchers? Well thanks alot you assjacks, optometry isn't a real degree choice anyway, you probably did it at a community college nightschool and majored in media and film studies. Gah.

I had a look at those today, just no. They've got barbed wire on the frame and make your face bleed. Also the glass is broken and they only come in extra-small size.

You can fill in a form if you're still in full-time education to get money towards your health benefits though. It's called a HC1 form, google it.

My glasses cost me nearly £200 for frames and lenses.

I lost them in benidorm and couldn't claim on travel insurance. :^(
I've just forked out for a new pair at the same price. Still, they are excellent glasses - it's worth forking out extra if you wear them all the time.

Go for rimless if you can afford.

Oh yeah, I didn't think about the cost.

Can't I get some reject NHS ones?

Shortsighted people should wear their glasses all the time, im also shortsighted. But anyway the frames can be expensive unless you get them during the half price sales just after christmas. Oh yus.

I'm going to get my eyes tested.

I think I need them if I'm reading longer than half an hour.
I used to get killer headaches when studying.
