have we now outsourced everything to Bangalore?
$19 prescription eyeglasses? How is that possible? I mean, I'm totally giving these people free advertising without even making a snarky joke, because, WTF? Really?

Now I don't mean to go off on a rant here, but the profit margin at those boutique optometrists like Robert Marc-up would have one believing they were going to strap the frickin' Hubble Telescope to your head. Trust me, I know. I happen to have an astigmatism that precludes wearing contacts, the justly deserved nickname Matty Four Eyes, and just enough disposable income and vanity to indulge the belief that one's eyeglasses are a fashion accessory by which others remember him. So I've gotten ripped off by both Eye Man and Robert Marc. Plenty of times.
But, dear reader of Jen's, if you are, say, someone who wears glasses only for reading, if you are less vain than I (e.g., you), if you're less successful. . .yea, if you're just a real fucking schnorrer who doesn't want to pay bust-out retail. . .check out some of the bargains you'll find online. For a better deal on shades, you'd have to be Craig Stadler's caddy on a weekend he made the cut at Augusta.
I confess that I have never seen the low low price of only $20--maybe it's because I need a stronger prescription--but my my myopeia! (Hey, does that include the tape across the bridge, and the lunch money someone will beat you up for, too, doofus?) Seriously, I dunno about pimping your peepers for a Jackson, but certainly, fifty bucks should get you hooked up.
Of course, that's just my opinion. I could be wrong.
