I still feel for jimbro's wife and the cost is mind-boggling. If she had been here the glasses would have been les than£100 and even around being under $100 dollars and as I said although I am now trying bi-focals my last 2 pairs for distance and reading cost less than $100 around £75 and the test, free. He is so right about the ridiculous military budget as so many people could get better basic things.
