Am currently shopping around for a new pair of spectacles now that my prescription has changed. I cannot believe how much variance there is between shops.\u00a0 At no time did I ever believe the “get a pair for \u00a350” signs in the window but when you come out of the shop with a quote for more than six times that, it leaves you speechless.\u00a0 Part of the issue is my insistence on lightweight lenses in a frameless * frame.\u00a0 I feel very strongly that glasses define your face and I have one already thank you so I don’t want to change it too much.\u00a0\u00a0 Think I will strike out for frame frames** but I do not wish to look like Sarah Palin.\u00a0\u00a0 Why, just hand me a moose and a blunderbuss and while we’re at it let’s take civilisation back 200 years.\u00a0\u00a0 Mmmm, time for some tea.<\/p>\n
* there are no frames around the lenses,\u00a0 just legs and and an interconnecting piece between, which has staggeringly uncomfortable pads that rest on the nose.\u00a0 One may obtain softer pads but these are – hey! – more expensive still.<\/p>\n
** the lenses are framed.<\/p>\n
