So....top of the line Varilux progressives for about $478 (w/ insurance, lenses only) or good ol' Costco frames and prog. lenses (proprietary?) for less than 300.?
That's my current dilemma.

@StacieBee Great eyewear is really important! We love our Kirk & Kirk frames. I have had Nikon lenses in the past. Fabulous.

I tried to book an immediate appointment with my #optician this morning. He said he couldn’t see me at the moment. So I moved a bit closer and said “How about now?” #Joke

Pleased to have made it through an #EyeTest with little change to my #prescription and best of all still no sign of #cataracts or #glaucoma despite 26 years of permanent #steroids. Also relieved as someone severely #immunosuppressed that the #optician and other staff were wearing #masks thus protecting themselves and patients. #NHS #Eyes

A little personal life update with indoor plants, cozy cats and new prescription sunglasses. (day job as optician so I have more glasses than I need) #AeroGarden #Cat #Hyacinth #ForcingBulbs #IndoorPlants #Sunglasses #Cozy #Optician #ProgressiveGlasses #CostcoGlasses

Can any knitters out there help with a question about #knitting and #varifocals glasses? My eyesight has been changing (presbyopia due to age!). I find that with my varifocals I am straining my eyes to knit. What did you do about this? Get separate glasses, or have you adjusted your knitting style to accommodate changes to eyesight (e.g. holding the work further away)? Something else? My #optician is great, but does have a vested interest in selling me new specs...

That has to be one of the weirdest visits to the #Optician... | #PatientCentredCare

Clinician: "Now, try to relax and concentrate..."

Patient: "E, H, N, O, F... Something, Something, Something..."

Doubling down on getting my ABO certification. Aim to have that before the summer. Wish me luck! #optician #studying #getthatbread

#Masks or #NoMasks for the #Optician these days?
Last time I was there they did a deep clean between patients.

Only an #optician is allowed recommend specific contacts.

I guess I will need to find an independent optician who can recommend a few different options to me as I'm really not happy with Specsavers own brand (rebadged supplier) for my eyes.

500 characters isn't sufficient for my recent #glasses ordeal. But yesterday the #optician tried to re-use great lenses that had been in an imperfectly fit frame to make a spare pair while a newer pair is sent back to the lab... but that didn't go well. And they didn't *notice*. I was lucky to have brought an older pair with me so I could drive home. Then I realized just how bad these were messed up. And this photo doesn't even cover it... there's palpable warping on the front of the lens!

Eye test and new glasses on their way. That was an easy $700

"Oh, he's a #hottie, is he?"
"Nope, an #optician though.”

MPs are set to discuss a national eye health strategy when Marsha de Cordova, co-chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Eye Health and Visual Impairment, brings forward a Ten Minute Rule Bill highlighting the need for such a plan on Tuesday 29 November. https://www.abdo.org.uk/news/mps-to-discuss-national-eyecare-strategy/ #EyeCare #OpticiansUK #Optician

haha :D Ok I have no idea
Gonna hashtag this with #illusion #optical #optician #advice

Been waiting weeks for my next batch of #contactlenses, so keep getting given ones that aren't quite my prescription by the #optician. Certain it's just a ruse to get me to buy a new pair of glasses from them! 🤓
