I'm on here trying to contact my hubby and son. Hubby gave me his Kl number but I can't get him. I had to send him an Email withg my number.
Anyway. I have had many pairs of glasses for myself and friends made.
Multifocals in Australia start at $250 for the lenses only. Here they are $75 or $111 depending on the materials used.
Amber just got a par of normal lenses with frames for $56. The lenses alon at home are $70. Frames vary of course depending on type brand names etc but are much cheaper than home.
The money you would save on couple of pairs of glasses wuld almost pay for your trip. Throw in the savings of getting a tooth filled and you're in front. My tooth would have cost $250+ in Sydney but only $65 here.
Catch you soon
