    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    I do get free eye tests and some money towards glasses which helps. And the opticians felt sorry for me having to buy yet more glasses (I think I've spent c£800 in the last year) so they gave me a further 10% off. Still £250 though

    How much?! Holy cow! That's a lot of money to spend on glasses. I spent £30 and that was enough to last me at least a year, maybe two

    Just out of interest I totaled the amount I spent on glasses last year it came to £732. I had 2 pairs of distance glasses (one spare pair), 2 pairs of intermediate glasses (one spare pair), one pair of reactolight (spelling) distance/sunglasses. I didn't get any reading glasses as I've already got two older pairs of readers which I rarely use as I read without glasses (just need to hold it a couple of inches from my nose).
    77 and counting, less of the "Old" call me "Mike"

    That is day light robbery for the glasses. I had to get two pair last year but i have no idea how much they cost. I even asked my son to get them. If i knew i would have paid myslef.

    Hope you are well this morning Paula.

    I get my eye test and glasses free of charge. But if Gerry or Aisling needed glasses they would have to pay. I'm considered the sick person in this family therefore I have a medical card, and get my glasses free with it. I could buy expensive glasses frames and get my prescription put into them, but the free frames are just fine.
