Just bought reading glasses on Amazon.

[Woodznutz]

I break, or mar the lenses, on my drugstore reading glasses often, so I thought I'd take a chance and buy the cheap, multi-pack readers that Amazon offers. I was delighted with my purchase as the glasses are exactly the same as the one's I've been buying at Walgreen's.

Walgreen's price: $20.00/pr.
Amazon's price: $3.00/pr. 5-pack.

Of course they are all imported.

Hope this helps someone.

I think my father could use some of those. He's over 80 years old now. He can't see worth a shit. And he drives around in a brand new Corvette.

At least my brothers and I got him off the Harley.


He shouldn't be speeding around town in a fucking Corvette.

After a point, they stopped doing the job and screwed up range work practice. No line progressive trifocals, coated for glare, and UV good for all distances became the way to go. I find I am much more careful about taking care of them and I do not go through several pairs a year.

The VA gives me my glasses so I have no idea what they cost.

And you don't care about how much fucking money us taxpayers are paying for your non-effective worthless coke bottle glasses. At the most, the only purpose of those glasses is to hide your ugly face so that you don't scare little children.

But you probably do that anyways, like a typical brickie.

Me too. Back when I still used Amazon, I did get three pairs that both my husband and I used and I like them a lot, but I'll give my dollars to Costco before I will Amazon.

The reading glasses I have ordered from Amazon were far superior to those I used to buy at Walgreens. The quality does vary so your first order may not be all that impressive. I also order bifocal reading glasses and the last supplier’s product was excellent.

You can't read the ingredients in anything anymore unless you have a pair of reading glasses on.

Some are so small you need a magnifying glass to read.

My half blind father likes to talk about when he first met my mother and worked his ass off at the Jeep factory installing windshields so he could afford to buy his brand new 1958 Corvette to impress the young ladies.

A 1958 Chevy Corvette only had 425 HP. A brand new Chevy Corvette today has well over 700 HP. Some of them have over 900 HP.

They are totally different animals.

Aw, let him be.

You don't need to see to be a baller.

A brand new vette? Pft. Lucky dog...

 

[Natural Citizen]

Seriously though, the new ones will get away from you...

You do kinda have a pretty good point there. When I think about it, if I was that fucking old, what car would I decide to die in?

1958 Corvette base was 230 hp. Could be upped to 290 hp.

Whatever. The point I'm attempting to get across is that he's gotten too old, cannot see his hand in front of his face and shouldn't be driving around in a high powered sports car.

If you really want to have fun try reading the instructions on a can of spray paint.

If you're so old that you can't even see and read the large bold "WARNING:" font on the label, just put it down before you accidentally spray it into the cigar hanging out of your mouth and burn half of your face off.

EDIT: When I say "put it down", I don't mean shoot it down like a sick dog or a racoon in your garage, basement or back yard.

All the consumer needs to read is,

Shake can for two minutes.
Wear a mask.
Spray in well ventilated area.
Turn can upside down and spray to clear nozzle.
Recoat within x hours or after x days.

The rest is cya for manufacturer.
