My insurance paid for eye exam and co pay for lenses $20, co pay for frames $20. So I used my script for readers and ordered two cheap readers, $.99 each, off ebay. I needed a +2.5 for left eye and +1.5 for right. The cheap readers have plastic frames, which in hot water, popped out the right lens from both frames and used the 1.5 lens for right, 2.5 lens for left. Works great. This pair will be located in my tool box. Very light weight too.

Can you beat the price?

Good one. We covered this a couple of weeks ago. At the flea market the real nice ones go for about $2 each. Have kit bashed a couple of pairs.
 
If you can swap the lenses left for right, you can make another pair fit for you!
Frugality instilled in me LOL
 
jeffcat,

When I visit my sisters in Florida, you can count on going to 3 different flea markets weekly. Some flea markets shut down after the snow birds fly north.

Where I live, no flea markets. Guess fleas can't survive the winters.

I well go flea market shopping next winter when I head south for another visit.

It works if I wear the second pair upside down. Perhaps I could just flip the arms over to hook on my ears.
 
It sounds like you have some very good vision insurance compared to most plans, what are your annual vision insurance costs? With only a $40 co-pay for new glasses I'd either use the insurance to get prescription glasses or drop the insurance.
 
Good thinking , I have a fancy word for what you did....."trans-utilization",i.e. using an object or component for something other than what it was made for and creating value.
