It is mind-numbingly bad; we try not to promote it and try to steer people away from it. Missing in your dissection of it is the fact that if you return your glasses, you have the cost of the camera deducted from your return. An absolute joke!<BR/><BR/>On a different note, I just received my pair of EyeBuy glasses today, and they are grand. Comparable (at $31), at least, to what we are now selling for $99, but with AR. I think there is not only a place, but a necessity for both of us, but if I didn't get glasses at discount, I would be using nothing but online. I must point out, also, that my Rx is easy and my eyes not sensitive to induced prism. Were they, I might have a bit of a problem with them, as the PD is a titch off. That aside, they are nice glasses.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37485715.post-10380374532208312942008-12-04T01:54:00.000-06:002008-12-04T01:54:00.000-06:00Thank you for bringing this "free gift" ...Thank you for bringing this "free gift" to my attention! I think the most amazing point is that a pair of eyeglasses, made from plastic and metal with no high-tech components, no need for years of R&D and no warranty for lab repairs is marked up so much Pearl Vision can give away a Digital Camera and still make a profit!
