The old ones should still be a close enough prescription for driving or going to the beach, and I dont think that it costs much to add the coating onto existing glasses.

I need to have an eye exam soon and I think I'll be going to Wal-Mart. I ran out of contacts months ago and just wear my glasses. It only bothers me when I go somewhere nice, or go running. I've heard you can order contacts online for cheap but I have no idea how/where to do this. PS: Am I the only one not surprised that your friend paid $1000 for two pairs of glasses and an eye exam? That's the standard here too - but you can haggle them down to a lower price, go during sales and use coupons. We are in the same boat.

That's just a scam that's been perpetrated for decades. Get your prescription and go to a site like goggles4u.com and you can get high-quality, fashionable glasses for $26, shipping included (plus a 5 percent discount for future pairs). You won't be disappointed. It's a lot of fun to have several pairs to choose from rather than just one pair that cost an arm and a leg. Prescription glasses/sunglasses are NOT a luxury!

Unfortunately, I didn't plan ahead and realized just a few weeks before my honeymoon that I was out of contacts. I shopped all around and found a reliable eye doctor at a local Wal-Mart! They eye exam was well under a hundred dollars!! This was a great price given that I live in NYC. I ordered my contacts online to save even more money.
