ive heard that they are expensive like 500$ for two lenses
im going to vision world on Thursday to pick up my father’s glasses cause he got a new pair so i will ask there but approx. how much would they cosT?
You can get them but I suggest you shouldn’t. First of all, the price is pretty extreme,a pair of prescription glasses and sunglasses can cost less than a pair of transition lenses! Of course, you need a reputable shop. I bought all my glasses from http://www.optical4less.com. Also, I don’t find transition lenses that useful because you can’t really control them. I don’t find much advantages using them. I really recommend just buying the prescription sunglasses/normal glasses. Good luck.
Yes you can get transitions with almost any prescription. Astigmatism is no problem. The cost ranges depending on the office. $500 seems expensive for just the transition upgrade. I have heard anywhere from $60-$120 (United States) for the typical transitions upgrade in addition to the base lens price.
I paid an extra 75.00 for mine. But even if you have to pay 3 times that much, you will love them. It is worth every penny.
The astigmatism makes no difference.
