Jessi Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 (edited) http://www.lifeactivated.com/ I saw this on the local news, it's an interesting concept and I think it would be cool to own something similar, however, not at a $1200 price tag.

Just Plain Ruff Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Ordered me a pair from the local eyeglass shop. There goes my christmas bonus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPhT Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 $1200 isn't all that bad, really. I know that my glasses I have as backup for my contacts were billed at over $800 to my insurance company. Granted, I got high-dollar frames, the lightweight lenses, all of the UV and scratch-proof coatings, warranties, etc. Those are single vision lenses though. I can't imagine what bi-focals or progressive lenses would have run in my case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessi Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 I'm 20, I have bifocal lenses... I have to say it kind of trips you up with stairs.. however, I tend to lose/break glasses quite frequently. Last year I went through 4 pairs. With my track record of losing/them breaking them, I don't want to spend THAT much on 1 pair of glasses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't mind me asking, how much are you spending on a pair of glasses now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Plain Ruff Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 If you don't mind me asking, how much are you spending on a pair of glasses now? If you can get em at Walmart or CVS or Walgreens you can spend upwards of 19.99 on a good magnifying pair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AED Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I personally don't wear glasses. If I did I'm not so sure that I would pay that much money relying on what the internet/tv says. I would much rather have known someone who has really used them before I would consider even buying them. I think you can only get reading glasses at Walmart and places like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DFIB Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I wear bifocal safety glasses when running calls. I am considering refractory eye surgery in about 10 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vorenus Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I have been waiting for ages for glasses with windshield wipers! Anyone who wears glasses and once came into a warm room out of the cold knows what I`m talking about... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
