I found a pair of frames I liked and ordered it, plus lenses, from a
large online provider out of Texas.  The cost was $400, mostly for the

I have arthritis in my lower back that I take Oxycodone for.  I have
two questions that I need a little info on.  Can the Oxycodone slow

considering surgery.  My biggest concern is doing anything to
