Hi all...I remember someone once posting a link for a good site to order prescription eye glasses from. Any help? Thanks!

Zenni is our favorite. I have ordered lots of glasses from them and most we have loved. the only time I had a problem they sent out a new pair asap. I don't think they wanted them back but I don't remember exactly how that worked other than I had to email them about it.
Good luck!

These guys are great- I've ordered about a dozen pair over the years and never been disappointed. www.39dollarglasses.com/ |

DD got a great pair through Zenni. I tried a different place, 123glasses, or was it cheapglasses123? Anyway, the frames were great, but the lenses were carp, so I took them to my eyeglasses place in town, & got better lenses put in the frames.  |

Thanks! Zenni looks great. Starts at $6.95! I'm there! I can treat myself to two pair.  |

Every time I order for one of us on Zenni I end up getting four or five extra pairs.  I use reading glasses and DH has bifocals along with DS having regular glasses. For mine and DS I have always found lots we liked for under $10. DH is always more but if I am doing it I always end up getting at least an extra pair for DS and myself and still have never broke $100 for four pairs. As far as rx glasses that is amazing! |

Anyone bought progressives online? I was chicken when I got my first pair of glasses a couple years ago, but I think I'm going to need the prescription changed and might try online.

I got bifocals from Zenni and you can have them tinted dark enough to be sunglasses. I had one pair made with just the bottom prescription to wear on the computer. You get a break on postage if you order more pair so may as well get 2-3 regular and some sunglasses.

I have been ordering from Zenni for years. I usually buy 3-4 pairs for under $50 total. I have been very happy with their customer service and my glasses.

Do you just get the prescriptions from your eye Dr.?
Found out DD20 has lost yet another pair of glasses. She doesn't like to wear them, so keeps setting them down at work and they get broken or thrown out.
IF all she has to do is get her eyeglass prescription and we order her a few pairs, that would be terrific! |

Yes and since they don't see your prescription it doesn't need to be less than a year old. You do need to measure her eyes to see how far apart the centers are.

My husband wears bifocals...they sell them too? Yeah they sell them. they also sell the progressive ones and the ones that change tine when you walk in and out of light. We have actually only ever had one problem over the years and it may have been because of the shipping. But they sent me a new pair no charge immediately. And we have probably ordered 20 pairs from the. In our years of getting them from the person in the Dr's office we have had issues about every 4th time so it isn't like going to them would have stopped that. |

My glasses came on Monday, and I love them! Much nicer than I thought they would be. My brother also ordered, and his progessive lense pair came, and he is equally as thrilled. I'm pissed I didn't order more than three pair! Thanks everyone.  |
