If you want to reduce the price of glasses go to Zennioptical.com

My wife got some bifocals from them for about $20 and they are of good quality. All you need is your prescription for your glasses and you can order on line. Unless you have money to waste there is no reason to pay $400 for glasses.

I have heard that when it comes to using hearing aids that you should try to only use them when needed because their increased volume tends to cause even more hearing loss. I don't know if this is true. I am just repeating what I have heard.
