I am giving zenni a shot, I will let you know how it works out. It is for my wife, a pair of prescription sunglasses. On zenni's site they have a measurement for center-to-center distance of eyes. I just eyeballed it with a ruler. Pardon the pun. The total including shipping was $17.95, so if they end up looking terrible it is not a lot of money. They could also just end up being a backup pair.
