Woohoo... I just called JCP. They recommend that I go with the polycarbonate lenses on the metal frames but I could be safe with the typical plastic lenses on the plastic frames. The upgrade for poly is only $60 per pair. There is a warranty available for one year breakage on both the frames and lenses for ony $15.

Soooooo.....
$129 two pair special
+ 60 upgraded lenses on metal frame
+ 15 warranty on the metal pair since that'll be my primary pair
$304 for TWO pairs -- right in my origianl price range.

I also called America's Best. They offer free eye exams and 2 pairs of glasses for $69.99. They won't do my prescription for that price. They said mine will run about $200 per pair. BUT my son needs an exam and glasses. This is PERFECT for him. So while I am out at Penney's he can be at America's Best getting his exam and picking out his glasses. Both stores are a stone's throw away from each other.
