Seeing Better At $8 a Pop by Scroochchronicles on Jul 18, 2009What can $8 get you nowadays? A good lunch maybe. Coffee and dessert at a coffee shop. Its not even enough for a shirt. But $8 RX eyeglasses sounds too good to be true. Couldn’t believe it myself. I paid well over $100 for my prescription...
