Remember Catnapper's thread about the place to order spare eyeglasses?
I had to try these for myself also.
I used a millimeter measuring tape and took all the dimensions from my favorite pair and ordered a spare that are nearly the same style plus a different style just for fun. The Optometrist mailed me my Rx and pupil distance. I have bifocals but want to go back to a single lens because I only use them for movies and driving. I have never liked the reading bifocal and do not need it to read. I can't imagine how they could make a bifocal though - they are so hard to get just right in person.
$25 for two pair including the shippingI got one "cheapo" for $8 and then popped for an "expensive" pair...$12.95
Will wait and see how they look when they arrive!
*update* the glasses arrived - less than two weeks with Labor Day in there, too. Like Kim, I am rather pleased!! They came with nice hard cases and microfiber cleaning cloths. I have to say that the $8 is flimsy. They look great but the wire frames are very thin. BUT perfect for keeping next to the TV. The prescriptions feels spot on and I already love not having that bifocal. The *expensive*pair seems to be the same quality as anything I have tried on in the optical shop. It has the springs in the earpiece to make them flexible, nosepieces very sturdy - I really like them!! I am going to order another pair with tinted lenses for sunglasses to keep in the car.
Oh and want to see me?
The first - rectangles are new to me - they are silver. I have never worn that shape but I like them. #4197 these are my *expensive $12.95* pair!
The second - ovals are $8.00 pair, a pink frame and very much like what I already have been wearing. #4100
