It was the eye test I worried about. Some of the kids would cheat, and memorize the letters on the chart. I was too scared to do that. In elementary school, I always passed. By junior high, I was getting letters sent home saying I needed to see a real eye doctor. At one point, my mom took me to get contacts, but I hated the way they felt in my eyes, so I never wore them. It wasn't until I started college that I finally broke down and got a pair of glasses. They cost close to $200 if I remember correctly. I wore those glasses for 10 years. I wish zennioptical.com had been around back then. I wouldn't have waited ten years to get another pair of glasses.
Luckily, my kids have pretty good eyesight. Ryan is the only one who needs glasses, and he only needs to wear them to see the board at school. This means they spend most of the day in his backpack. As you can imagine, we have gone through several pairs of eyeglassesfor him. Thankfully, he loves this $8 pair from zennioptical.com, so when he breaks or loses his current pair, I can replace them easily.
And we all know how often kids glasses get broken.

Yes, we learned the hard way to not invest too much money in Nick's glasses. It's amazing the places I've found them - in the couch, on the porch, on the microwave, on the driveway...that last one did them in! The boys have Medicaid and so his last eye exam and glasses were free (you had to choose from the free frames).
Glass for just $8 a pair! Wow! I never heard of that.
The glasses I am wearing right now I got at Zenni. I paid I think $12 all together with shipping and handling. I love them. After I get my new prescription I plan on using them again.
