I can't tell if she was trying to show off her glasses or her cleavage? :/

Both :)

I measured the PD myself for the eyeglasses I got online, and they are noticeably better than the ones I got from pearl vision.

I just got in my second order this week and I am very satisfied once again. Prices are great of course. Shipping the first time (Feb) took 3+ weeks, but that was expected considering the shipping distance. This time shipping was very quick and short, it came from California? My flex spending has accepted my receipts both times, making it even better. The glasses I have now are so light I cant even tell I have them on.

Sorry...forgot to mention this is with Zenni! :)

For a few minutes Ill add a pic of me in my "work" glasses. These things are nerdy as hell but indestructible how for how hard I am on them! Im amazed they have lasted since Feb. No, these arent the lighter ones but still I love em.

Need more pics of the work glasses and non-work glasses to verify how good they are.:hug:

got my pair of glasses from lbweyewear and intially i was impressed, impressed that it came so quickly and that it fits my head. After wearing it for a minute or 2 i noticed that while looking at text it was not very clear. Now i have to deal with their customer support and see if i can get a refund or a new pair of glasses.

Bifocals or single vision?

Please do.

I ordered from zenni optical back in August, I got my glasses about a week later, and I have to say, they have been FANTASTIC!

I'm literally kicking myself for spending $200+ on ONE pair of glasses when I can get two pair for about $20. :lol:

Having designer frames or any of that nonsense is definitely not important to me. I wear contacts during the day, but when I get home from work and on the weekends, I give my eyes a rest and wear my glasses, and they've been great.

:woot:

I ordered 4 pairs of glasses from Zenni Optical last month, first time ordering glasses online. Two pairs of silver framed eyeglasses in similar styles, and 2 other frames I had made into prescription sunglasses. The frames I picked for the sunglasses are too small, but that's my fault for not paying attention to the frame size. The prescription is perfect - I can see perfectly out of all 4 pairs. Took about 2 weeks to arrive. $50 for 4 pairs of glasses shipped was phenomenal. Whenever I buy glasses locally it costs around $200-350 per pair before insurance. It just comes down to getting your eye exam/prescription from a local optometrist (make sure they give you the "PD-Pupillary Distance") then plugging the info in online. They'll even take expired prescriptions - great if yours doesn't change much year after year.

This $8 frame in silver is my favorite. Very shiny and nice quality, I adjusted it to fit my face with no trouble:

You should wear them for a while to let your eyes adjust before you blame the glasses. Even if the 'script is the same, variation between individual lenses can take some adjustment.

I and a bunch of friends have ordered from Zenni optical approx 9 times in the last year. Always great quality. Out of the 27 pairs I have ordered, only ONE pair seemed off on the prescription. Every other pair I have ordered and my friends have been great. Yes 27 pairs of glasses is alot, but its between me and dd. I've ordered prescription sunglasses also, they're great. Bifocals too. Paid less for all 27 prs than for one pair at LensCrft. Can't complain!

I've had good experiences with Zenni as well. I bought a pair in early '08 and they're my favorite glasses. They've held up really well despite the abuse I've given them, but recently one of the nose pads broke off. I was resigned to buying another pair, but I gave their customer service a call just in case. I had to leave a message, so I explained the problem and gave the order number. I didn't have high hopes for any kind of response, so I was surprised to receive an email a few days later stating that my nosepads were in the mail. A couple days after that, I received a kit with a small eyeglass screwdriver and three pairs of nosepads (and the nosepads actually fit). I'll use Zenni again.

LBW is the best from my experience. I always buy my glasses there.

Update LBW: Got them on the 20th, so ten days from order to in-hand is pretty nice. Frames and lenses are decent, sturdy, prescription seems right, and quite a nice surprise for a 19.48 pair of glasses as I was really expecting junk for that price. These are on-par with any glasses I have ever bought from the usual retail stores.

:nod:

[el-cheapo]

Just placed my second order with Zenni. $17 *woot*

[Stew478]

Hi,

I'm gonna palce an order this weekend through Zenni. How much is shipping normally for lets say 2 pairs to Ohio? I know there coming from Hong Kong and wasn't sure if shipping was going to be alot.

Thanks,
Stew

[ts802]

Ordered my 2nd pair from Zenni after my other Zenni pair broke after 2+ years. Not bad. Comes in less than 2 weeks, and I can see perfectly. :woot:

[ps22468]

THX!
I forgot about them and ordered a backup:
bendable semi rimless $ 20.xx shipped

[desiyankee]

Repped! Amazing set of links guys!

[sapphire1166]

Ordered my first pair of online glasses through Zenni last month. I was SO happy I ordered another 2 pairs last week. I've been telling everyone I run into to never buy another pair in-store again!

[ViperX116]

I just got a new pair from Zenni. When I look at my monitor everything is a bit smaller. Everything else is fine though. Is it because I need to go though an adjusting period?

[popflop]

Sounds like possibly you got your pd wrong. What was your pd that you used? If it wasn't close to 63 most likely it was wrong. Most people are within a few mm of 63.

[izzybob]

Good Info...thanks.
I've used Zenni and Optical4Less (http://www.optical4less.com/) and have had good experiences with both.

[dbpaddler]

An easy way to get your PD done for free by your eye doctor is to pop in and say your work is getting you protective glasses and they need your PD on top of your prescription. They'll usually give it to you no problem. I had called frames direct to actually drop coin on a pair of glasses, and that was the advice she gave me. Worked easily for me.

Tough to find decent smaller frames with clip on sunnies. Finally found a pair of 47mm ones at Zenni. Will be interesting to see how they compare to the Armani ones I got at Frames Direct for $300. Though at the eye shop, even with my Aetna discount, it would've been $450. So that was a plus at least. Must've tried on frames at five different shops, and one thing I noticed is those Armanis just felt nicer than the others, Maybe not a couple hundred more worth though. Will be a nice comparison when they both arrive.

The pd I have is 65, which I got from my optometrist. I just checked it myself and it looks right.

[popflop]

Well that's probably not your problem. I've found that PD has to be really out of whack for it to be noticeable for most glasses. When I first started ordering glasses online I measured myself and got 69mm and never had any problems with the glasses I got. Later I had my uncle who is an Optician check it for me and he said it was 62mm so since then I've been using that measurement and can't discern a difference in the glasses I've gotten with that measurement.
