I feel you. I now ONLY will buy glasses from my docor's office because seriously, even though I'm -7.5 (THICK AS HAYLE) he can make them super thin and light - probably the equivalent of someone with a -2.0 to -3.0.
Now granted, I do plunk down $500 a pair but its so worth it. I can wear them outside and they are light as can be.
One year, when funds were TIGHT, I went to Lenscrafters instead. Even with their featherweight lens my glasses were so thick, Mr. Magoo would have done a double-take! I took them back and headed STRAIGHT for my doctor's office immediately.
Never again.
I wear contacts (Focus) about 80% and my glasses the other 20%. I don't think I can imagine the feeling of not needing either.
