As a few of the people here know, I am putting up a quick blog to
describe my OK experiences.  My doctor is using the Contex-OK system
with a boston lens (that is prescribed by contex-ok).  Exactly what

Hello -- I have worn glasses for pretty much my entire life (I'm 22) and
have always spent quite a bit of money on frames and lenses.  My last pair
was purchased from an upscale boutique and was over $650.  That pair finally
reached the end of it's life and I decided to check out ...
