A teacher told me about a place online for cheap glasses. She had purchased a few pairs for herself and recommended the place to a lot of families. I haven’t purchased any yet because we have insurance that covers everything except the Obamacare TAX. However, the last time one of our sons was fitted for glasses, I took a picture of the paper that had all his measurements on it. I had asked at another eyeglass place if I could write down the measurements. The woman was not happy because they might be held liable if something went wrong when we ordered from somewhere else. Whatever.
I don’t remember the name of the online eyeglass place. They had a ton of frames and allowed you to virtually try on the glasses. It’s pretty neat.
Maybe it’s Warby Parker.
I still go to an Optometrist to have my eyes checked. Slow growing cataracts.
But I buy my eyeglasses online. I wear Progressive lenses and the last time I bought them at Wal-mart about 4 years ago, the lenses alone were over $300.00.
I get very nice frames and ultra-thin progressive lenses for around 98.00 now.
Zenni Optical is where I get mine.
