Hi
Funny thing I just ordered a pair online. Someone at work told me about this. Zenni Optical. I just bought a new pair of glasses at the local eye glass store and it cost me five hundred dollars. So for a backup/clipon sunglasses I thought Zenni would be good. Placed the order. Faxed the prescription. Glasses came, put them on and I can not see. I called Zenni they said to return them and they will check to see what happened.

So I too am curious if anyone has ordered online and how they made out....

I've been tempted---there's one out there that sells RX glasses for $9.99.

I've purchased from Zenni. Mostly for presb sunglasses-I just wanted distance and no bifocal. I see fine from them. They are so inexpensive that I didn't care if it didn't work out...mostly it has. Now I can have several pairs instead of the same ole same ole.

The only regular eyeglasses I purchased were for night driving...and then I didn't care what they looked like per se because I only use them at night in the car..again-I wanted the distance without the bifocal.

Just pay close attention to the size of the frame..I received one pair that was really tight..my fault-they all LOOK good online..but watch the numbers. If you already have a pair that you like-look at the frame for the sizing numbers. Also, make sure you know your pupil distance.

Even though I have refused to budge from age 27 for several decades now, my eyes, unfortunately, have not. Now I find myself forced to wear reading glasses while shaving.

Not online, but last few times purchased from Costco at a major savings from what we'd previously paid at Lenscrafters and Pearl.

Has anyone purchased progressive lens at Sams Club? If so, what did you think of them?

DH and I both get our glasses thru Costco - excellent savings

I always confuse these terms but DH has no-line bifocals plus they change from clear to sunglasses.
Mine are no-line bifocals - my sunglasses are Fendi and Ralph Lauren, eye glasses are Coach - all from Costco.

My glasses are great and I got them at Sam's about a year ago.

We always get our from Costco. I thought they were getting a lot more expensive and that other stores couldn't possibly be that much more...and then I went into a mall store and found out that most frames there started at about $180 and went up from there, ouch!

My DH just bought new progressives with antiglare from Costco for about $220 altogether.

I have a difficult prescription and Costco did great on it.

That's a great price! Mine are progressives with anti-glare and always cost at least $400.
