@Raindrop: YES TO THE BRIGHTNESS. I tolde husband I felt like I was seeing things in HD! What in the world! I haven't had a new script in 2 or 3 years and my prescription change isn't very drastic but my goodness, what a huge difference it's making! It's definitely much more clear and so much brighter.

@MrsSCB: I have a 30 day window, so I'll give it some time. I'm so in love with these frames! For $95, if these break, I won't be so sad. Chloe broke my last $$$ pair and that really sucked. I purposefully wanted these because Charlotte is starting to get grabby and I didn't want her to break expensive frames, especially since our insurance coverage blows.

Ii started getting the lenses changed in my glasses after Chloe broke my last new pair. Then I realized that I've had those glasses for six years. It's time for a change!

My new optometrist is nice, it's her staff that sucks. This lady in particular was nasty. She treated me like I was looking for a handout & wouldn't even write down my measurements for me when there was a own right in front of her (she said "well, I don't have a pen so you'll have to try to remember your PD....."). I finally said, "listen, I'm not looking for something for nothing. My insurance doesn't cover anything but a 20% discount and your frames are all in the $400 range. I've got two small children and home and my last pair of expensive glasses ended up cracked in half by my then six month old. It's Christmas, I'm a stay at home mom, and I figure if my glasses are going to break I'd rather lose $95 than $400. I need contacts, I want my lenses replaced in my other frames, but I also wanted a new, cheap pair of glasses to wear around the house, so I'd like to make sure the script is correct in these."

She told me that their prices are comparable and competitive and you can't get their quality customer service anywhere. Chloe was with me and told her she wasn't very nice the lady wouldn't talk to me about lenses, and we left.

Biiiiitch

@Mrs. Rabbit: I saw your pics! I loved Wilkie. Did you see their new collection? It came out just after I got my 5 in the mail.

@ValentineMommy: no lol I think I'm like -1.25 and -1.75 and I have an astigmatism. I never noticed the curved lenses until someone pointed them out last night!

@blackbird: They gave me the script no problem - apparently the FDA requires it? - but didn't include the PD. I was surprised at how rude the staff was. I mean, I get it, I didn't order from them. It would be like someone ordering wedding invitations from someone on Etsy then asking me to print for them - I could, since I order through my own printer, but I didn't design them, so I wouldn't. But I also wouldn't be a dick about it.

@MrsSCB: I used to have amazing insurance coverage, 100% frames & lenses, and a 20% discount on contacts. I have a pair of Prada frames that I've had for 6 years and I keep getting new lenses put in them. After I had Chloe, I changed things up and got a new pair that I paid out of pocket for, and she snapped those in half. I'm glad I had my back up pair!

Now Charlotte is around that age and getting grabby, and our insurance coverage blows on glasses. I wear mine all the time, so I want something I won't feel sick about if they break.

$95 isn't going to make me cry. And I still want a back up pair, so my trusty Prada's that are 6 years old will still get new lenses put in them. Christ. That lady really didn't need to be such a bitch to me. They're still getting my business. I'll still buy glasses through them, just not today. Wait until my kid isn't the 'break everything nice I own in half" age.
