I tried Zenni based on all the love people give them for my progressives and they suck. Chinese trash.

I have 6 regular pairs and 2 pairs of sunglasses from Zenni and they're all fine. It's a pretty normal rx though, nothing crazy, no progressive lenses.
They're cheap enough to stash a pair everywhere. |

They are all going to be Chinese.
I have used Eyebuydirect. Prescription seems to be correct. Frames don’t last quite as long but for the price I can have multiple pairs and change them out anytime. |

I've gotten single vision glasses/sunglasses from glasses.com, framesdirect, and zenni and can't tell the difference between any of 'em.

My wife has recently used eyebuydirect.com a couple of times and is happy with them. They have their own brand of frames in addition to name brand stuff. She got a pair of progressives with blue light blocking, anti-glare coating, that transition in sunlight in their brand frames for ~$150 with a coupon (she says the coupons are easy to find). One cool feature about their site that she likes is they have a selfie deal where you can see what the glasses look like on your face.
She has been able to get several pairs of Rx glasses (including sunglasses) from them for the cost of what a local place charged for a single pair. |

I've worn the same $40 pair of glasses from Zenni for a few years now. It's time for a new prescription, but the frames are fine. It's great to buy 3 pair out of pocket for less than I'd pay for one pair at the optometrist WITH insurance.

I just bought two pairs of progressives from zenni, one is sunglasses. They are fine. I'm pretty sensitive to prescription changes and I can tell a difference over the glasses from the optometrist when I first put them on, but only for a minute. Of course, you can get that experience from two pairs of glasses from the optometrist as well.
I usually get a pair from the optometrist, wear them for a month to make sure the prescription is good, then buy a backup pair and sunglasses from zenni. |

I got some progressive sunglasses from them. Work out great, and WileyX frames, so you don't look like Poindexter. |

I have some glasses that I got in 2007 or so. I'm slightly nearsighted, and my right eye is a bit worse than my left. It's not so bad that I NEED glasses for driving or whatever, but I got glasses anyway.
Last year, I tried the glassesusa phone application that is supposed to be able to gauge your prescription by using your computer monitor and your phone's camera. The results? WAY OFF. WAAAAAAAAY off. Somehow the left lens came out stronger than the right, and the right lens was too strong as well. Fast forward a bit, I'm having to use reading glasses for things up close. I got my eyes checked and got a formal script. I ordered a pair from glassesusa and they came out fine. The issue I had there was that they saw the old prescription from their app thing and halted production of my new glasses to ask me THREE FUCKING TIMES about the old prescription. It was an actual person emailing me about it. I had to tell them THREE FUCKING TIMES that the old prescription was irrelevant and to ignore it. |

We've used these guys a few times with great results. Both Rex and Rex sunglasses. Not the cheapest but they're ground in Colorado and have great cs.

Zenni. With a few upgrades on the Zenni glasses, you'll be pretty upset at the substantial extra cost of Dr. Office glasses with less features.
About 11-14 days for delivery on two ocassions. |

Best way to go. Went glasses.com and got 3 pairs for what 1 would cost at the optometrist and I didn't have to choose from only stupid expensive designer frames. I could get a frame I liked that didn't have a $200 price tag on it. I got close vision clear for normal day to day stuff, far vision clear for when I'm driving at night and a set of far vision sunglasses for driving during the day. Online has just as good of quality control as through your local optometrist's preferred vendor and might actually be the exact same vendor. What you don't get are the little things like frame adjustments made by someone that really knows how to adjust them for that perfect no-slip fit and the ability to look down your optometrist's assistant's blouse.

Zenni Optical is good, Eyebuydirect is too. I think the ones I got from eyebuydirect make me see better than zennis, but maybe I got a higher index lens than I usually do. They just seem clearer.
If you're going to get photochromic lenses I suggest paying the extra money for the fast version of transitions. The regular photochromic lenses don't get dark enough or change fast enough for my liking. Adds twice if not more to the price but may be worth it. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Zenni. My thoughts based on one purchase. Clarity of lenses were really good. Dimensions listed on webite for the frame was not accurate. Progressive choice at end (close up, middle, far away) was confusing. I ended up with a pair that are great for anything within 3 feet, but suck after that. Felt the choices on the screen lacked some clarity as to how best to select. |

Zenni.
They are lower quality sure, but they work just fine and are cheap enough that you can buy seven pair for the price of one pair at LensCrafters. |

They have really good prices and are much better quality. Costco also has people who know how to measure the distance between your pupils. This is important to get the lens correctly in the frame. It is also impossible to do yourself. |

I just use eyebuydirect and have had great success with them. If I were to buy my glasses retail, I would spend $750-1000 a pair due to my prescription. Bought my latest pair from EBD and it was $175 shipped

I bought a pair of Rx sunglasses from Zenni and was happy with them.
My wife recently got a pair from Sams Club and the progressive were hard for her to use. I saw an ad for the Varilux and told her to give them a try, she found some at 39dollarglasses.com and loves them. |

Stay away from Framesdirect.
Holy fuck they could not get a RX to save their fucking lives. My sunglasses I ordered were several magnitudes wrong, wrong tint then sent me a replacement set of lenses untinted and broke both sets of frames. Getting money back was a god damned nightmare until I contacted the Texas Ag. |

NO problems with Zenni for several years now (progressives w/weird scrip). Used replacealens in the past for old B&L frames I already had, and RXSafety for WileyX sunglasses for motorcycling. No issues with any of them.

I recently purchased from EyeBuyDirect. Oakley prescription and Ray Ban prescription sunglasses. Would definitely do it again, a fraction of the price of going to a brick and mortar. I think they are out of Tiawan. I have also purchased from GlassesUSA. Same deal, happy purchase. It takes almost two weeks for the glasses to arrive.

I am a Zenni customer for quite a while. My Rx's have all been for progressive lenses both in regular and sunglasses. As mentioned with some extras the prices are substantially below what the optometrists charge. I have not had any problems with their glasses. The only advice is to make sure you have the correct PD as the optometrists don't like to write it on your RX.

If you want to be or get progressive go to costco, Costco is a progressive company. If you want a single clarifying lens to view the world through, I used kits.com to order a pair for a friend who was too lazy to get glasses and it was driving me bonkers. I think with first free pair it was $10 with shipping. Friend is enjoying the glasses. If I could do it again though I'd probably order the extra $10 or whatever to add blue light blocking as my friend looks at computer screens all day. |
