I agree, the industry, and most of medicine, is crap.
There should be someone making minimum wage, or just a bit higher, asking me "does this one, or this one look better". Better yet, eliminate the person altogether and just have a machine prompt the person as it switches through lenses, and then spit out a "prescription" at the end.
Then the eyeglass retailers require a prescription to sell glasses. What do they care if I made up the prescription myself? Not like there are eyeglass junkies out there wearing wrong prescriptions to get a "fix".
It should cost $30 to determine the correction to my eyes, and then maybe $40 for the glasses.
The whole "you get what you pay for" is nonsense with glasses. That's why I'm looking for a bargain. Even if a pair of $30 glasses didn't work out, they were only $30 and I can try again many times before I hit $400.
BTW, the Oakleys I bought were the most fragile glasses I've ever owned. The arms eventually got brittle and broke just putting them on. I probably went through 10 arms before giving up.
