With private insurance, I get a ~$200/yr annual allowance. Curiously, some optometrists have sales of glasses for ~$200. Pure coincidence, I'm certain.

Anyway, I effectively get glasses for free (I don't, private health insurance is expensive) and was browsing on the weekend for something I don't actually desperately need because that allowance expires in 8 weeks.
