I've had bad luck getting good lenses from Walmart, and I tried before I needed a bifocal. My prescription is complicated, and the adding in the progressive or bifocal component doesn't help. I like my progressives and will stick with them.

My glasses are far from inexpensive, but they do the job - and I was never able to find a less expensive provider who was able to deliver lenses that worked properly for me. I am sure they aren't all that way, but as bad as my vision is I won't gamble just to potentially save a bit. Thankfully I do have vision insurance which does help mitigate the cost. I don't spend much on the frame, the insurance helps most there.

We had to change my astigmitism prescription a bit to enable to me have Oakley sunglasses for the bike - I am concerned that won't be an option this time as I think my astigmitism might be worse right now but we will see. Sometimes it is worse, sometimes it is better. I will find out next Tuesday when I go for my appointment.
