I've been putting off getting new glasses for a very long time, now. The prescription on my contacts is just as old and I can't really see out of either. Add in the fact that my glasses are bent, the earpieces are taped on - and you can see it's time to bite the bullet and head to the eye doctor.

To that end, I have been doing some online pricing. It appears that the 30-day multifocals I have been desperately wanting are not going to happen, unless we suddenly hit the lottery. But the deals out there on eyeglasses are pretty good.

The fact that I am seriously near-sighted, need bifocals, and have an astigmatism in my left eye shouldn't make a difference. Right!? Oh, yeah! It's gonna be expensive.

I can hear the Cha-Ching! already!
