I've had new glasses 5 times in my life. I'm 25, and I got my first pair when I was in second grade. Dorky glasses, middle school Katie knew you well.
But I can't blame my mom for not wanting to shell out hundreds of dollars to get me new specs. The optometry industry is run by a bunch of price-fixing gangsters in this country. $200 for plastic frames, are you kidding me? These things cost $6 at xmart, and we call them sunglasses. An extra $50 for the coating, another $50 for the extra thin lenses, it's criminal.
Which is why I was so excited when I saw this article in Slate. Seems that China is coming to the rescue, and finally I can order my glasses online for a fraction of the cost (seriously, under $50). As my mom told me when I was 14, they all look basically the same, anyway. So buy 'em online and save some cash.
