70. What you said was right, and important. You were showing off ego, you were expressing concern.

One thing I will take issue with.... the cost of lenses is prohibitive. When you buy cheap frames, the lenses are still expensive, and when those cheap frames break, and they will in short time, the biggest replacement cost is the lenses.

Also, more expensive frames hold an adjustment much better, so your vision is obviously clearer when the frames are fitting as they should.

As for the exam, just getting the cheap refraction doesn't include those tests for diseases that can kill your eyesight.

In short, your eyes are extremely important, and there are many other places to economize, but your vision isn't one of them.

You did the right thing. Thank you for posting your experience, and your thoughts!
