I went to to place closer to home, and was told I only needed one. Total cost was around $800. Mind you, one root canal is more than enough!

Back to the original post - I hadnt actually thought of it, but you are soooo right, especially with the frames!

I have astigmatism, and so cant get cheap lenses, but its obscene the price they charge for frames.
