There is a YMMV Amex offer that gives $15 back if you spend $50. Could work here if you spend more for upgrades more than one pair.

This would be important if glasses in brick & mortar stores didn't cost $400.

Is it our deligence to see if the prescription fits the frame or not , or the checkout process warns us if there is any issue ?
I've had it stop me from ordering lenses that won't work with the frame etc

Do the colors look all screwy with these lenses? Would be nice to have a pair of photochromic lenses but if the colors are messed up that would bother me.

Sorry, but I don't buy any of that blue-light marketing crap. And you can use f.lux or Night Shift on your Apple devices if you really think it makes any difference; you don't need blue-light blocking glasses.

I think this sale is because they're phasing out Blokz Photochromic and replacing it with EyeQLenz, the only difference being infrared protection under the new name

At $100 cheapest for the $13 frames, progressive, 1.61 transitions, & $5 AR.
Considering the only pair I bought from them previously was $143, this is cheaper.
Now if that pair wasn't easily scratched, had both lens cracking at the mounting points,
and the coatings flaking of around all the edges... I might be willing to pay $20 for another pair.

Good deal. Unfortunately the lenses aren't available on the mid range progressives I wanted. Did get some readers though
Why not just choose the premium progressive? It comes out to only $24.xx for the lense (ignore the original estimate) once you choose the blokz photochromic at the end.

Does anyone know what shipping method they typically use? USPS, Fedex, or UPS? I am about to go out of town and only 2 of the 3 have vacation holds for free.

That makes sense. I just got a pair of progressives with EyeQLenz a week ago. They sometimes project a pale red light onto my cheeks which is less than optimal. I only see it when looking in a mirror with overhead lighting.

I've only gotten Blockz once, and that pair was really just for testing my new prescription, so not much to compare.

I usually get Trivex or Polycarbonate for impact resistance, so none of these higher index lenses.

My two pair of photochromic lenses have worked well, but they don't get especially dark. I still have sunglasses for when I'm going out in the sun, but for day-to-day use, going inside and out, they are great to have.

Doesn't seem to work for readers. Anyone else? I don't have a rx so I thought to just get a .75 reader.
Try with a prescription of +0.75. Same thing, but it goes as Prescription vs OTC Readers and should have the discounted lenses as an option.

Quote from goodness97 :
Can this be used as reading or computer glasses?
It appears to work for any single vision or standard/premium progressives. It does NOT work on Mid-Range or Near-Range progressives.

Photochromic doesn't do anything inside, where readers and computer ranges are typically used. Probably why that's not an option.

If you don't have a specific reader prescription, you can use a progressive Rx and just add your "near vision add" amount to the first value on the prescription, the SPH, or spherical.

For computers, add about half of your ADD value to the SPH.

You could even make Mid-Range progressives by adding half your ADD value to the script and changing the ADD to half the regular value.
