I have worn glasses and/or contacts for 36+ years. I gave up contacts several years ago due to dry eye and expense. Now I finally have crossed over into "benefiting from a reading edge" and am considering PAL. My current lenses are SV Nikon that have superbly resisted scratching. I am interested in similar (or better) lenses that will hold up well to wear, allow me good peripheral vision, and have the reading edge. My gov't. insurance covers next to nothing, esp. in terms of providers covered. The main one only sells Pinnacle. I've searched this forum but can't find any mention of them. Is it because they are that bad? I am also considering staying with SV and taking off glasses when I need to see small things, though it can be aggravating. I don't have my script avail. right now - sorry.
BTW, the Shamir sounds great but the closest dealer is an hour a way. Price is probably too high as well. If I can't get good glasses with my insurance, I'll get the cheap ones for back ups and pay out of pocket for good vision (always have). I just need some guidance on what makes sense. I had an optometrist (my children still see him) who became too arrogant for me to want to pay for (and missed contact lens damage to my dry eyes), so now I am subject to whoever is covered by my poor insur. plan. Thanks!
