Online eyeglasses

[feh]

Wanted to provide some feedback regarding Zenni Optical - a few weeks ago I ordered some prescription sunglasses and was happy w/ the product. So, I also ordered a new pair of glasses for my son, whose prescription had changed.

Big thumbs up! I think I spent about $18 for mine and maybe $23 for my son's. Huge savings compared to the usual retailers.

Interesting, feh. I looked at zennioptical and some other sites this summer, but could not find the super good deals that people speak of in this thread and that I saw people on other sites excited about. Between the slightly higher prices and my distrust for getting a good fit and properly filled prescription, I decided against the risk. I ended up spending $49 at Walmart, but even that is the least I have ever spent on glasses. One day I will try an online seller, no doubt.

I am highly skeptical of getting a decent pair of glasses for $20-ish. (Though admittedly my current pair are about 6 years old. Since my prescription doesn't tend to change, quality is more important to me since I don't have to buy them so often).

I am also skeptical of getting right fit, etc.

BUT, it does sound like an awesome idea for a backup pair of glasses. Next time I order some glasses I may get an online backup pair to test them out. Maybe for some sunglasses? Definitely some interesting feedback.

When I ordered my sun glasses, I was doing just that - testing the the company out. I've always wanted prescrip sunglasses, but never wanted to spend the money. For $20, I figured it was worth the risk.

The frames are pretty nice...no different from my primary glasses which I probably paid a couple hundred dollars for a few years ago.

I may try this as well. I have poor vision and require speciality lenses that I'm a little leary about ordering online (if I even can). I have an optomotrist appt next week and am planning on getting new glasses there. Maybe I'll just order a second pair for kicks off this website once I have my new prescription and measurements.
