The Price of Sight

I can see a way to make Lasik surgery a cost effective option. I just ordered my first pair of bifocals (progressives) today. I hope I am forgiven what I was thinking. $485 to see. Amazing. I paid $200 2 years ago and was shocked then. Of course the wife needs new specs, too. $450. That's 2 guns of modest value, 4 cases of Winchester PowerPoint .22 LR (20k rounds). Amazing. Did I already say that? In shock I am. Forgive me while I go veg in front of the TV.
