My last pair of glasses, which I had for well over ten years, cost me around $800 ($175 for frames, the rest for lenses). My prescription is over -11, so I went for the thinnest possible lenses on the market. They were specially made in Japan and took weeks to come in, but compared to my previous pair they were amazing in how thin they were.
I lost those glasses while camping last weekend. :( But they were quite scratched up and due for a replacement anyway.
I wear contacts 100% of the time when I'm out in public, so glasses are only for when I first get up and before bed. Money's tight right now, so I think I can get away without the top-of-the-line lenses... but still don't want total coke bottles.
Where do you folks with high prescriptions get your glasses? I'm in Canada if it's relevant.
