Title: Best sites for online prescription glasses?
Post by: bpreynolds on June 22, 2015, 06:16:38 PM
Hey guys, I've got distance lenses to wear everyday but now I gotta order some reading glasses.  I've tried all the ones at local pharmacies and all that jazz; none of those work at all for me.  Got my prescription for readers from my opthalmologist and gonna order some this week.  I've had some friends who had great satisfaction ordering online.  Anyone here recommend a particular company or site?

You aren't a CostCo member, are you? We've been buying our glasses and contact lenses from them for years. The prices have represented great value.

One of my sons has used them for several years and swears by them for price & quality for the $$$ so when I needed some new glasses this year, I thought I would give them a try.  I started with one pair and after receiving and wearing them for a couple of months, I ordered another pair plus some sunglasses. 
We are Costco members and have compared the prices, selection of frames, etc and IMO, 39 dollar glasses.com blows them away.
If you have your written prescription, you just fill in the numbers in the boxes exactly as they're written on the prescription and pick the quality, shape, etc of your frames.  Very easy website to navigate.  I'll buy from them again when I need glasses.

I've used Zenni optical for years now.  Way cheaper than the glasses from my previous optometrist, and the lenses have a much better scratch resistant coating. http://www.zennioptical.com/

I've been using goggles4u for a little while.

$10-$15 because I'm a cheapskate and wait until I get special offer emails.

At the recommendation of guys on this site, my wife and I have ordered three pairs of glasses from Zenni.  I got a pair of single vision glasses for using the computer, and a pair of bifocals for general use.  My wife got a pair of progressive bifocals.  All three pairs are excellent, and exactly what we expected, and the price is almost silly low.
