I think it's some massive conspiracy to keep the optomotrist, glasses and contacts companies all in business.
I had a quote done last year (coz I have extremely bad eyesight and live in fuzz land if I don't have glasses or contacts) and it's $5,000 for both eyes. My husband is just as bad, so that makes it $10,000. So we thought 'stuff it' and are going on a holiday overseas for 5 weeks in August instead.

I couldn't agree more - as I was reading this it sounded as if I wrote it! My eyesight right now is -5.25 both eyes and gets worse every 6 months I have to change prescription. The amount my contact lenses and glasses cost could have already bought me lasik but unfortunately contacts and glasses are covered (70% with a limit of about $230/yr) by my private health, but NOT laser eye surgery! I have to wait till my eyes adjust anyway (optom. says another 5yrs) to get laser but just had to vent. Laser eye surgery to improve your life is not 'cosmetic'.

Wooh! That's alot. But I normally only buy 1 or 2 things from a collection anyway, if any, and the lists will whittle down as swatches come along!
Art Supplies, Prep for colour, To the beach, Superglass, Nudes, and Alice + Olivia will all have to wait to see swatches before even considering - trying to save for a house this year is not helped by all the collection overload
