my eyes are independently near sighted. The bad one is good to abt 3", the good one to 6". What adds to the cost is the highest pos index lenses, so that I don't end up lopsided:) (at least any more than I already am)
If you have a simple prescription, maybe your biggest cost is the frame.
My personal prescription has ALWAYS cost about $600 Cdn for the lenses and about $150 Cdn for the frames. I'd go for this, especially since my prescription appears to be changing every couple of years now.
Certainly, both of these articles were timely for me, since I was looking to earn enough money to finance my hobbies, but by doing something that I enjoyed.
I'm already volunteering teaching "How to use the computer" at one organization and revamping another's webpage. Why not leverage that into a part-time job?
These articles point the way. A little bit of tweaking for my target market and I'll be off. (With no competition from the whiners who don't want to part with their knowledge.) And a very slow, word of mouth build up, since I am lucky enough to not have a mortgage.
Everyone's circumstances differ, but sometimes being satisfied with enough makes life very much simpler. There must be some/.ers out there who have actual lives, right?
