Mary I tried the progressive lenses but found that even after 4 weeks 
they still made me feel nauseated every time I turned my head. But I 
have lots of friends with them who like them fine. My clue came when the 
young lady fitting me with frames said, you don't want that awful line 
in your lenses do you? That's really old-fashioned.

The way to get cheap glasses is to pass all the displays and ask to see 
their welfare rack. They will pull out a box from a back room somewhere, 
with about 6 selections that are designed to make you look as ugly, 
poor, and unemployable as possible. On poor people they serve as a 
license plate that says hate me I'm poor and I deserve it. On you they 
will probably look avant-garde.

At least I think mine do!
