1. Honey, go to Lenscrafters.
The frames may still be made in China, but the lenses aren't.

2. I paid 200 after my eye care plan for the slow boat
I would have paid close to 600 after the care plan at Lenscrafters.

3. Having done the waiting game and the dorks constantly screwing things up,
I went back to the one place that gets it right the first time. In house, instead of in some country that is definitely not the USA...

Vision World can go to hell. And I don't often say the h-word...

I don't blame ya, especially these days with costs...

4. We have Target optical out here, no Vision World
I did not want my glasses to take up our entire flexible benefits account.

5. Gotcha.
I do not know how Target rates.

Probably better than Wal-Mart.

12. 9 days is nothing.
Mine regularly take 2 weeks and are lucky to be made correctly after 3 redos - that's 6 weeks if you're counting. One pair took over 2 months to get right.

Admitedly, I've got a tough Rx. High + in both eyes, reading addition, cylinder and (the killer) prism. My Rx even had the special notes field filled out. As in "see back" for a further explanation. And please don't suggest Lasik - four of the premier practices in Atlanta have rejected me.
