When looking for the right glasses, it has always been a headache. I never seemed to get just the right glasses to fit my needs. I even tried contact lenses which was a nightmare I will never repeat.
The last glasses I purchased have proven to be the best ones yet.
Frames
* They have strong metal frames which are durable. The are flexible without bending or distorting the frames shape.
* Hinges and nose pieces are securely attached. They do not loosen easily. I don't have to get them adjusted all the time. I have had them for almost a year and only recently had them adjusted. This was the first and only time they have been adjusted since they were purchased.
* The frames are available in two styles. I chose the two tone style because they looked good on my face and would look good with whatever clothing I wear. When you have to wear your glasses all the time, this is important.
Lenses
* The lenses are made of scratch free non breakable material.
* They are transition lenses which allows me to go out in the sun without hurting my eyes. They adjust to the changes in lighting.
* Since getting older and dealing with the eye and vision problems associated with MS, I have now graduated to bifocals. The way the bifocals are positioned in these glasses makes it easy to adjust to having them.
* The lenses include special adjustments to help with blurred vision, one of the other eye problems which comes along with having MS.
* I see better out of these lenses then any I have owned yet.
These are great glasses. The only drawback would be in not having them.
Yes, I had to pay extra for these glasses above what my insurance would cover, but it was worth it. I would always recommend going to a regular eye doctor or a vision center operated by a knowledgeable eye specialist.
The other vision centers may be cheaper or quicker, but we can't go cheap when it comes to our eyes.

Frames are so expensive these days so you are lucky to get it that price. Thanks for sharing all those experiences and opinions,
These sound really good. When I finally have to move from drugstore glasses to real ones, I sure will need DURABLE! I'm terrible.
You really did get a good price on your frames-they are SO expensive!!
