OMG, I need glasses! What would you do?

It's pretty disgusting the monopoly they have on glasses. Gone are the days when it would take a trained optician hours to actually grind the glasses to the correct prescription. They now pop the blanks into a machine, the machine cuts them, and an optician or at least a trained technician briefly checks to make sure that they are correct. The same holds true whether your glasses cost $5 or $500. The exception is some really extreme prescriptions that still require special expertise.
