I ordered with anti-glare coating and it came to about $20 shipped. My first order arrived two days after placing it. Second order took 3 or 4 days. Around the time of the second order I also placed an order with Goggles4u (I like having a few pairs and the cost is prescription sunglasses is far more expensive with KITS since you can pretty much always use a 70% off code at Goggles4u). The glasses I ordered from Goggles4u took more than a month to arrive this last time.
Anyway, what I'm saying is that I'm a happy customer of a competitor and I'd still recommend KITS and buy from them again. I would note though that this code is on all the time, so this isn't a new deal or one you can't always get.

oh by the way, I'm an optometrist

We get this question a lot. Why do I need to pay for a new exam or pay for my PD? It's usually someone under the age of 50. Their youthful ignorance and rationale is cute. I'm 39 if you are wondering.
It is really convenient and affordable for people to get glasses without a prescription, I totally agree. Why pay for something that should still work, right?
No one is going to die or get sued over badly made glasses that cause work or personal injury in America in 2023, right?
The online glasses retailers are not owned by optometrist or ophthalmologists. they are owned by lay people who want to make money. So they are not interested in jumping through hoops (or protecting you from injury) to get the same prescription filled. They have lobbied successfully to be able to sell consumers glasses without trying very hard to verify prescriptions. It's nothing new.
The problem is, the eye care providers have to deal with complaints about their online glasses, when they weren't even the ones who made and sold the glasses.
We also have liability. We have to protect everyone from themselves...most people don't have 20/20 vision, so driving at dusk/dawn/night while its raining can be dangerous. Guess who get's subpoenaed if someone forgets to wear their eyewear and has an accident in a car or at work?
Optometrists and ophthalmologists will see a varying percentage of online buyers come to them complaining about their online glasses. No big whoop, it's expected. but It is annoying, because its usually something preventable.
Usually its an issue of the assembly or quality of the lens and frame most of the time, or an outdated prescription that doesn't work well anymore...When you go online, you have to select all these options: AR coating, UV coating, Blue Tint, Spherical power, axis power, Add power, base curve...etc. Do you want to know how many times the consumer messed that up?
the eye care community does not want to waste their time redoing someone's glasses, especially if they didn't make money off of you in the first place. Same as any other business. A lot of consumers will go many years in between exams. We're not trying to be greedy. We just want to do right by you...if you come to us for help, we are going to give you quality care and that means we're going to redo the exam and get updated data to help you.
we have to charge for it because our time is valuable just like any other professional or service.
Our chair time is valuable and that's why most eye care facilities don't make it easy for you to get that PD number...Why would any professional, buy expensive equipment, hire a lot of staff, and then give away their work for free so the consumer never comes back? You can measure your PD at home, you know? We charge extra because we have better equipment and your asking for our measurement and the measurement can change and there's no law that says we have to give it away for free, so we don't.
Yes, it's part of medical records and those belong to you...but offices can charge for making copies of records and for their time...so there's the other side of capitalism for you. A lot of people waste staff time by arguing about this.
Another point to consider...Online glasses retailers have your pupil distance PD number but that is not enough to fit a pair of glasses on someone properly, especially if they have an abnormal nose, deep set eyes, uneven ears, etc...Online retailers can put the optical center in the wrong location even with the right PD number because the optical center needs a vertical alignment as well as the PD horizonal alignment.
Also, If you wear your glasses lower on your nose, it affects the optical center which affects your vision, and the problem is magnified if you have astigmatism, presbyopia, or other aspherical prescription issues....not following me? yea, its not simple, so don't expect someone off the street to fill your glass prescription correctly without ever meeting you...
Optometrist are much more than just people who push buttons to get a PD measurement or an autorefraction (prescription estimate that comes from a machine, the thing that has the farm house or tree in the background). If you want to order glasses online, feel free to try it. It's a good option that works for a lot of people. Just keep in mind, if the end product is not good, and you need an optometrist to help you fixt it, they will need to redo an exam to see if your prescription, PD and other numbers are still the same...
Online business are awesome, but not everything should be bought online and if you do pull the trigger, understand your risk and return policy. Either way the online retailer will sell you whatever it can and let their return department or optometrists deal with it

On the subject of the glasses, I have bought several different pairs of glasses from them, distance and reading, and an intermediate pair for PC use. I once made a mistake on my prescription ( I went back and forth and it reset and I didn't notice) and I called customer service. Their customer service was super helpful and I quickly got a hold of a live person and my issue was taken care of. You can upload your prescription instead of typing it in to avoid this mistake FYI.
I also called customer service in regards to getting the intermediate pair as I only had a distance and close prescription and customer service spent several minutes with my prescription and calculated my " intermediate" prescription from the prescription I had and they worked out great!
On a side not directly to plooberman! If you have my Prescription and PD this means I paid for an exam at your office and you should not charge additional to provide me wit ha copy of that exam just because you want to try and be a Dbag and force me to buy your glasses!

Like I said in my previous post, you can measure your own PD, its not hard. There are even apps for that. If you want an updated PD from the optometrist, we can do an exam or charge you for just the PD. If you feel this is somehow unfair or illegal, you can report all the eye care specialists to the better business bureau or the board of optometry in your state. Every state deals with these issues differently so I can't speak on your home state.
I don't imagine this is typical given how favorably this deal has been received here, but this was definitely not a good order.
