No. I paid money to be able to see crisp, high definition images of my waifu.
Is this a US joke I’m too encumbered by lack of freedoms to understand?
Where do you not have to pay for glasses? Here in the UK (which is not the US) children and low income people get free basic glasses, but any special coatings, tints, frames or adult glasses you have to pay for.
Here in the UK (which is not the US)
You do not have to pay for any optical, dental, or audiology equipment or treatment in France.
You can choose to buy fancy frames or tints, but you don’t have to.
You get anti-reflective coatings and thinner lenses?
I am American. My glasses are like 30 bucks a pop and I order them on the internet. All I see an optician for is to get my prescription renewed every 5 years and that isn’t too expensive to get done either.
Hi, former optician here, your glasses are probably fine quality wise but you should consider updating your Rx more often, at least every 2 years. Eyes change more than people tend to think they do, and since our lenses can be adjuated with muscles we often don’t notice when our vision begins to deteriorate.
I have a total correction of about -3d in each eye, but if I dont put my glasses on in the morning I don’t need them and can go through my day normally. As soon as I put them on and am hit with the strain relief though I’m unable to go back to not wearing them for the rest of the day.
Edit: for clarity, I was an Optician, a lens technician. Not an optometrist/ophthalmologist, my experience with eyes is purely through being in the field where people get equipment from, NOT from actual medical experience.
I know that. I just don’t care to get new ones till I notice a difference and my prescription hasn’t changed much at all for 10 years anyway. As long as I can see, it’s all good.
Glasses were way more expensive when this joke was first made ~20 years ago
