1. The prescription is critical.
For the younger, a single prescription is fine.
(General mid range)
Eyeball muscles can still focus near and far with correction well.
As one gets older, you'll get far sighted, and might need two, three prescriptions.
Eye muscles can't focus at all ranges well even with a single correction.
(Close/reading, mid-range, far/driving)
For example, a prescription for reading/phones/pc use will not be good for driving exams, shooting at the range, sports.
The prescription with all two, three sets of numbers are written on 1 piece of paper.
At some point, you may need progressive or bifocal glasses. (Cheap enough to try bifocals at zenni to see, as well....) or change pairs of glasses daily.
Doctors today love to go crazy with astigmatism correction, but this can introduce funny optical aberrations. A great doc will spend lots of time to optimize this for you, even using a non-optimal correction so what you subjectively see looks best to you (not to the machine).
2. PD, distance between pupils is critical.
They usually don't write it on the prescription, but you can get them to measure twice to make sure.
There's apps at glassesusa.com and I think zenni that'll measure with a phone to double check.
3. Zenni founder I believe
https://eyeque.com/
Measure everything at home with a eye measurement device.
4. Look at lens materials and abberations. Your choice will greatly affect what you see.
Higher abbe value = lower aberration
Basic 1.5 lens will be thicker than the other plastic lens types, but have the lowest chromatic aberration.
https://th.bing.com/th/id/OIP.YzR...ImgDe
https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1...1649446846
If you look at objects with a new perception glasses and things still look fuzzy or weird, low abbe lens material can be the cause.
At zenni, 1.5 plastic is the cheapest...and despite the edge thickness vs other choices, still the "clearest" choice available on the market.
Imo, acceptable thickness up to -4 prescriptions.
5. Width of head vs width of frame.
If the eyeglass frame is too small, expect pinching and issues.
6. Wider + taller lenses give a better view, but also heavier if you have a strong prescription.
So trade off between turning your head a bit more to see things vs weight.
Most drive, so wider but shorter lenses better than taller and slimmer to see cars and pedestrians coming at you from the sides.
7. Sports etc - at some point, contacts/lasix better. Otherwise, sports goggles that don't move like some basketball players wear.
8. The super visual picky will see funny changes in the focus simply turning their head slightly left or right while looking at a chart in front of them.
Expensive digital lenses that map the entire field of vision and carve out a lens optimized for each point is one fix.
This also for people where a -2.25 or -2.50 prescription isn't working and they need a -2.36, for example.
9. KICK the kids OUTDOORS!!
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm
Nearsightedness rates INCREASE as kids stay indoors more each day.
1, 2+ hours outdoors with sunlight helps prevent strong nearsightedness from developing.
(And strong nearsightedness leads to the development of other health problems later....)
10. Everyone BUY a HDTV, stick it 10+ feet away, and connect that to your computer, tablet, and phone to use as an external monitor for long periods of surfing and gaming.
Better to have the head up and eyes focused mid range all day working from home, doing homework, etc than head down and focusing too close.
The headaches, backaches, and pain from head down all day is real.
If you don't know your preferred style, I suggest stopping by a local glass shop (e.g., LensCrafters). Most places won't mind you browsing the glasses. Some shops are very busy and won't approach you unless you ask for help or sit down.
When you look at the glass frames, please check inside the frame line. You will see tiny numbers such as 56â—» 36 138. These numbers indicate the following: 56mm is the lens width (from right to left), 36mm is the bridge width (the distance between the two lenses), and 138mm is the temple length (the entire frame from left to right). You can use the model number to search for the frames online. Generally, the heaviest frames are made of thick plastic, while the lightest ones are made of titanium.
Based on my experience, Jenni frames are decent, but if you have a very complex prescription, I do not recommend them as they may not handle it well. There are many complaints from people with complex prescriptions about their lenses. However, if it's just a single vision with not too complex adjustments, they handle it very well.
Additionally, many frames they offer are not significantly different from local glass shop models. The $7 frames are often the same as the 2-for-$79 frames, with the primary difference being whether they are wholesale without a brand or branded. However, if you want something of higher quality, go for their premium series. Their high-quality, high-priced frames can sometimes be even better than those you buy at a local store for $150 or $200. Most of the money you pay goes to the factory to ensure you get good quality frames. For example, their cheapest plastic frame might cost $3-$4, as they are mass purchasers of frames. You can get these for $8 from Jenni or $40 from a local store with some type of brand marks and mark-ups.
Luxottica now owns Essilor, one of the largest lens producers in the world. They also purchased the insurance company EyeMed, which has about 50 million users annually and is the second-largest eye insurance company in North America. Additionally, Luxottica owns multiple local glass stores, continually acquiring more to build their eyewear empire.
Now, if you go to a doctor affiliated with LensCrafters, use EyeMed insurance, purchase glasses from LensCrafters, and opt for Transitions coating, all your money circulates within the Luxottica-Essilor empire.
Despite being a European company, most of their earnings come from North America, which is quite interesting. Essentially, most of the money you spend on eyewear will circulate around Luxottica. About 80% of branded glasses are Luxottica, so even if you don't use their shops, you'll likely still be paying them. Many coatings, like Transitions, are Essilor, and many lenses used by shops and labs are made by Essilor, ensuring you pay them one way or another. Moreover, many doctors, hospitals, opticians, and ophthalmologists use machines made by Essilor or based on Essilor's technology. (Look closer at the machines when you visit an eye doctor's office, and you'll see a big sticker saying "Essilor.")
It's not just a monopoly; they've built a formidable eyewear empire.

Jenni,
- they have pretty much no support at all after you purchase.
- after 30-day no question asked return period ends, its all on your own.
- they dont do any fittings, re-adjustements, services like you get from local store
- a lot of them are cheaply made, unless you go for their premium models.
- its all about the money you will save
- heck, their general lenses are "Free" included,
- Even high-index ones, or polycarbonate ( the impact resistance lenses) are just a tiny bit of money compare to your local store will ask $50~$100
- they offer anti-glare coating for just $4.95, and if you buy premium it is included.
- unless you use "Transitions" branded coatings, all of their coatings are very low priced, and i have had no problem to use it or finding it except some small details

Local Glass Storeif you can find a local store that doesn't use insurance or sells any brand name items, then yeah its probably a good place. but there's a reason they call it a monopoly - you'll never find one.

I personally wait for BOGO deals at eyebuydirect before purchasing since my prescriptions are light (so I just buy basic/cheapest index lenses, and the frames are BOGO). But here are some current codes for eyebuydirect which are comparable to Zenni's savings. Note that some cash back sites (or credit cards) might be giving 15% back for eyebuydirect versus only 2.5% for Zenni, so it might be better for those without the Amex Offer.
Some tips for buying eyeglasses online.
All in all, you might order the wrong eyeglasses your first time around (too tight, too loose, etc), but it'll quickly pay for itself when you get the hang of it.
My guess is different types will have wide price differences.
Note under Zenni if the PD is not in the range, there is a 9 dollar surcharge.
As far as lens quality, Well, I have not tested that. And my prescription is rather light so it all depends.
Both are the high quality frames (Goggle4u used Strivesight)
Based on choices, I prefer the frames for half rim on Google4u. I would avoid the plastic frames on Goggle4u since the metal hinges break
Better frame selection under Zenni
Better tint colors under Goggle4u .
Shipping more expensive under Goggle4u versus free for Zenni (over 65)
More coupon codes on Goggle4u (up to 71% off sometimes, 61% average). Below is using 61%

Stacking coupons and promos isn't something most companies allow.
Don't see how it's a fake gesture, either. Their coupons specifically state that they are not applicable with other promotions.
