It's just been 1.5 years and I've to change my glasses, the power seems to have changed. This time got a bit of light-weight frames with progressive lens. I got it from a Specs shop in my locality. Things have become expensive in past couple of years, as compared to last time I made my glasses. What about you? do you wear glasses? when is the last time you changed frame/lens?

Yes, Pretty and I both wear glasses. We both need to get our eyes checked again. I suspect I need a new prescription as my vision seems fuzzy even wearing mine. We got new glasses three years ago. I hope you like your new glasses.

@Rimps85 I usually just buy cheap plastic frames. The lenses have to change every couple of years so no use wasting good money on them.

My last change was ages ago ! I need to plan for a new visit to an Ophthalmologist and get an eye test done. You got UV protection as well in those lenses? Lenskart or some other vendor?

@Rimps85 i could get social glasses but they are in really bad shape so if we want something a little bit modern, we have to pay it more yet our life standard is the same
