Hey Guys,
My apologies if this is the wrong forum.  At 45YO, I'm finally having to use corrective eyewear.  I used my local optometrist, where I feel like I was raked over the coals on the price of the glasses.  I have a copy of my prescription, so I'm hoping someone can direct me somewhere to buy another set and probably some sunglasses as well.  
Your experiences would be appreciated.

People I know have had good experiences with Zenni.
I am about to use them myself.

I bought online for the first time last year - Zenni.  Completely satisfied.  Will order from them again.

Yep Zenni for sure, I bought my first pair for less than $30 and could have gotten them even cheaper with different frames.

I've gotten some from https://www.39dollarglasses.com/?&atrkid=V3ADW66EA7E7D_1317281563_kwd-314416775__169845388682_g_t___1t1&gclid=CKzAhq6YoNMCFUhYDQodeLwIEw

Need to order more sunglasses.

I've had excellent service from framesdirect.com. The prices are typically excellent too.

Shuron.com. They are a USA company, and have made classic styles for decades. Very well made frames.

They'll send you up to 5 of their frames at a time to try on. You give them a credit card number and they charge you for the most expensive one of the frames, and will then credit you when the frames are returned.

They will make glasses with your choice of plastic,i.e., CR-39 or whatever it's called, polycarbonate, or Trivex. The latter two are safe for shooting. You can also choose coatings and tint.

been buying specs there for like 7 years. I usually buy 3 pair or so and get 1-2 I like and wear.. and it is still less than half the eye doctor place!
