Apparently I don't qualify for contact lenses as well. Is it just a Lenscrafters thing or is it standard practice among every doc office?

One of the LBS had a really cool pair that I loved, but w/o a prescription they are useless.

Mine should be here in another week and I hope they work. Apparently "under an hour" doesn't apply to most of their glasses..LOL!
I have no desire to wear contacts, but if you've got astigmatism, it can be harder to get contacts that match your 'script. My lenses for both eyes end up being really thick, so anything with any degree of curvature to the lens won't work. Sucks, because those look the best and I don't lose peripheral vision.
First time I've seriously considered laser surgery--if my eyes get any worse (and they do every few years), I won't be able to buy sunglasses. (The only things they had that would work with my rx were the Paris Hilton-esque ones. RUN AWAY!)

BTW, most of the time Lenscrafters has gotten me my glasses within the one-hour window. They may have been out of the "blank" lenses suitable for you and your frame. That's happened to me, but only once.

KatzPajamas--That sort of thing was something my mom suggested, but I really don't want the added bulk either on the front of my face or around my ears, especially not with the helmet straps.
