I got the bronze package (the free one) with rimless lenses. They were the Durable Air Lenses (I'm not sure what the gold/silver packages have). My rxn is -3.5 and -2.25 and no astigmatism, etc. The lenses came in at the thickest point at about 3-4mm. Not sure if that's the sort of info you were looking for, but maybe it'll help.

Used this. Great discount and lens is included.

nah not really. after you do all that stuff there is a choice between silver and gold packages, but the differences are not that obvious.

i got a pair of ray bans for $125 shipped

How do they compare to Costco's glasses in terms of price and quality? FYI, I need single vision glasses. I never shop with Coastal before. Thanks!

My Coastal pair is better than my Costco pairs. Way cheaper and same or better quality. No question.

I looked again and the only difference between the lens packages is thickness. If your rxn is around -3 or less, the free are fine.

My prescription is around -3.50.

Do they sell prescription sunglasses? Thanks!

Coastal CS is top notch. Glasses were replaced under warranty very quickly with no hassle.

Yes. Get a regular frame and select tinted sunglass lenses with your prescription at checkout.

Did I just miss this?

Also, what's the difference between the bronze/silver/gold packages? I can't seem to find info on it before the checkout page.

Yeah. The 50% off is over, but they're always running the First Pair Free (lots excluded though). The only difference in packages is the polycarbonate lens index (thickness). If I remember correctly here's the mm:

Bronze: 1.57
Silver: 1.61
Gold: 1.67

I could be slightly off, just going on memory from ordering last night. If your rxn is -3 or less, the bronze should be fine. I am -3.5 and they were fine. My husband is -9 and got the Gold and his were even thicker than mine. Somewhere online (try google) I found a website that calculated thickness based on lens index and prescription. That might help you.

I'll second that.
