I typically wear contacts except at home or work I wear glasses.

Yea they can be very pricey. The lenses have so many options like anti glare and auto tinting etc that jack up the price. I personally hated the glasses without the nosepads. I found myself always having to push them up as they slide down. I am fine with sunglasses being like that since the hours of usage is much less but my eyeglasses have to have the pads.
The doctor didn't really mention Lasik or contacts. I was told my eyes aren't that bad, but due to the condition of the left eye it degrades overall vision. I look at a lot of technical drawings and blueprints with my job and find focusing or even being able read small lettering gives me a lot of problems. I was concerned about the nose pad issue as well as my Persol sunglasses tend to slide off my nose when I have had them on for a while. One of the reasons that I liked the Oakley's as they have a rubber nose piece built into the frame on the bridge. I'm actually looking forward to being able to see better. For the past few months, I have been wearing some cheap reading glasses when needed but I can't wear them all day as they only help with being able to see up close. I do hate that I have wait 2 more weeks to see clearly.
