DR George did you pick out new glasses or will you go back for them when you can see better? Do you order your contacts on-line?
I've never gotten contacts on-line. They gave me five pairs of daily-wear contacts to try, since I've never used daily wear contacts before, and they said that the kind that I had been wearing aren't going to be made for much longer...and these are cheaper. I didn't pick out new frames, yet. At first glance, I didn't like much of what they had available. I'm going to go back next week after using these trial contacts and decide something then. I do need new lenses and I'll probably get something similar to what I have now (Silhouettes). At least, I'll be able to keep my current frameless "frames" until the new ones come in.
They are usually less on-line, compare prior to purchasing.
Why not re-use your frame since you like it?
I don't doubt that part of it is that they want to make a
new sale, but they said that, with the kind of frameless frames that these are, it was easier to make everything new and there was less chance of potential damage. There are no actual frames around the lenses, just a nose bridge and the arms. They're all attached directly to the lenses.
