    I need to have my eyes checked again for new glasses. I need them in like 1 hr. Is LensCrafters the best place around for this service or is there others?

    For some people Lasik isn't an option until your eyes deterioration has stabilized. For most people it happens around age 23-28. My eyes still haven't stabilized, otherwise I would already have got Lasik.

    I had to get PRK rather than the lasik where they cut the flap. First week was hell, but after that, money well spent.

    And to get back on topic. What Kam said. 12:30 and you need them in an hour??

    Can anyone recommend a good place to get an eye exam? Unfortunately, I only have medical insurance and not vision.
    I've seen that the average cost for an eye exam can range from $75-100. I guess that's not too bad but are there any Clutchfan optometrists out there? Or anyone know of any good deals if I want to also purchase contacts?

    Someone recommended the University of Houston Eye Institute and said that it's really cheap. Any UH students ever been and can you comment on the experience?

    Thanks!

    If you're a student (of any school), you get 40% off services at UH. A new eye exam will be $85. What's your e-mail? We can talk.

    Should've done coastal.com. Free pair of glasses with $7.95 shipping. Best buy you'll ever find for quality glasses.

    I think the deal is over.

    How do you know when the deterioration has stabilized? Do you have to get it checked by a doctor?

    You don't need your eyes checked, Jeremy Lin really did score 38 points on the Lakers.

    I think Toycen needs more than his eyes checked; should get that brain of his checked too.
