Glasses were a nightmare for me in the last decade. I always used our insurance which was Davis Vision and my glasses never ever came out right the first time. I had pretty high astigmatism and nearsightedness while also needing help for reading. So the last time, I decided to spend the money (which ended up being nearly $600), AND STILL HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. That's when I decided to get the eye surgery.

Now I have the same problem but without glasses. WTH anyway.

That's what I'm trying for. Cheap/affordable/expensive doesn't address the reasons for the cost difference.

I guess for AR I could go

clear/clear and less scratchable/ clear, less scratchable and easier to clean

That's what I want to convey, but it's a bit wordy.

And, to be honest, I've heard stories where the optician doesn't care about the patient's problems because (s)he is making diddly on the transaction (I've also heard a Walmart Optical employee say "what do you expect, you bought glasses at Walmart for $39"). We do not participate with Davis for those reasons. BTW, I think that if you choose other than Davis product, you'll pay about average retail for the galsses - you don't get any savings, really.

I'd avoid clear, because it implies the others are cloudy.
