Buy prescription eyeglasses online

I use to feel bad not using the eye doctor too, but then I saw this documentary.

The mark up is ridiculous.
 
Could always go to someplace like walmart, sears optical, americas best eyeglasses, etc to get a cheap eye exam and get your prescription from them. That way you won't feel like you are cheating on your local eye doctor, but a national business chain?
 
I’ve been buying glasses online for years. I used an old store bought pair to get the measurements for a frame size that I like and used an online guide to get my pupil distance measurement which worked fine.

I started with less expensive frames without specialty anything on the lenses to see how it worked and to test quality and was pleasantly surprised. I’ve ordered about a dozen pairs and was disappointed with the quality once, not too shocking for a $14 pairs of glasses and one didn’t fit well at all but I was able to return them.

I ordered from firmoo twice and all the others were from zenni. Zenni has a pretty good turn around time. I lost a pair of sun glasses on vacation and was able to get a replacement in a week. It was extra for expediting but they were about $85including tint and uv protected lenses. Without expediting, the glasses can take 2-3weeks to arrive bc they come from overseas.
 
After reading this thread, I ordered from Zenni last night. They have a 20% off Black Friday coupon.

I just bought DD her first pair of glasses through our optometrist and it was $400. There is no way I’m spending that kind of money on myself without trying a cheaper option first. Hopefully Zenni works.
 


I have not had good luck with the glasses I have ordered at Zenni. They colors are never what I expect. A pair of purple ones turned out to be a bright pink. The other pair the nose bridge appeared clear online but was gold in reality. I am not sure I will try online again.
 
btw, goggles4u is running a BOGO deal tonight.
