the eyeglasses winner is….
Many thanks to all of you who so kindly vote, opined and other wise sounded off on the correct choice for my new eye glasses in a blog post a while back.
I thought it a silly, fun idea for a blog post and was very thrilled to see such interest.
Clearly in the voting the gray frames were a HUGE fan favorite.
And yet I was a fan of the black frames. I just thought I could see better out of them.
So the winner of the eyeglass vote was….
Neither of them.
Turns out that the eyeglass place that I was going to buy these frames from would NOT accept my insurance so they expected me to shell out over $500 free and clear for these specs. Since I have eyeglass coverage with my insurance – that seemed kinda stupid. Plus I’d have to wait a week to get them because I wanted anti-glare on the lenses (and of course pay more for that too).
On the OTHER hand, it turns out Lenscrafters IS included in my insurance plan (saving me about 40%) and they could get me my glasses in 24 hours.
So I went simple, basic and practical – everything the other glasses weren’t. Silver metal frames (oh, excuse me, titanium). The selection wasn’t as nice as the other place but I decided that I am at a time in my life where its more enjoyable to spend money like that on my family than on me or better yet save that money for later. Must have been a passing case of vanity…shame on me.
So when you see me out with my specs, for better or for worse, this is what you’ll see.
