The latest upsell at the #optometrist is "myopia control" lenses for kids.
The idea is to slow the progression of #myopia (nearsightedness). About $300 more per pair. Gotta wear them till at least 18 starting at age 8-12.
But if your kid's like mine & might only need them sometimes... you now HAVE to wear them all the time.
They also reduce your peripheral vision through the lenses.
And at $300 per pair, say you buy new ones every couple years, that's around $1500 more.
