I avoided glasses for years because no matter what, wearing them would give me horrible headaches. Then one day I went to a higher end optician, spent $1000, and have been comfortably using glasses since.

So maybe more selling, less research?

Sounds like you've solved it, but I'd love to learn from your experience. 20 min chat? Can you shoot me a quick email at jbornhorst [at] gmail [dot] com so we can coordinate?

What is a higher end optician and how do you find one?

Can't speak for GP, but in my case it was an academic optometry center. Life changing. See my longer toplevel reply.

My guess is an ophthalmologist as opposed to an optician.

It's an optician that takes you to the cleaners in such a way that you feel good about it afterwards.
