In Boston, after breakfast, I noticed a Lenscrafters on fashionable Newbury Street. Fortunately they opened early and were able to get me an immediate appointment with the optometrist upstairs. She gave me a full examination, which cost $95.00 and I took my new prescription back to Lenscrafters, chose a $139.00 Versace frame, paid an additional $100.00 for the lenses and—voila—new reading glasses. The entire transaction was fast, convenient and at $239.00 not all that expensive. My only complaint was that once I got back to my hotel room, I realized that, as handsome as my new glasses were, they didn't provide any better vision than my equally effective $2.00 readers from Big Lots. Hmmm.

Fashion frames.
After having cataract surgery in August and September, I still needed reading glasses. Not being able to get a prescription yet, I purchased $2.00 readers from Big Lot, which I used until the doctor gave me the go-ahead to get a new prescription just as I was leaving for an October-November vacation.
