This is interesting

Did you know one can buy prescription glasses online?

I was just saying I need a new spare pair, too. Don't know if I'll bother with onlineness, though. I mean, for glasses? It *does* seem weird.

If you get them, please let me know how it works out!

I need new glasses. Badly.

DH bought two $12 pairs from Zenni and loves them. One tinted one plain. He got half-rims and looks like Noah from Heroes.

Oooh, you have your very own HRG!

[feebeeglee.livejournal.com]

Yes and he is yummy!

And I had written that (I have my own HRG) in my original comment but thought it might be obscure. Guess not ;-)

He was HRG long before they deigned to give him a (probably fake, you know) name!

I have friends who have a lot of them, and order all their glasses that way. They said that the key is figuring out measurements--how many inches between eyes, for example, and what styles look good on your face.

Thank you for the advice.

I was just sort of spouting what little I have heard about them. Was that advice? It doesn't actually make much sense to me--I wouldn't know how to go about the measurements that they said are necessary.

If you want to have specific questions answered, it's my friends willful_zephyr and red_tanya who have ordered them online and who seem to be very happy with the results. They're very friendly folks and will likely be able to give advice that makes more sense than my rambling.

It *is* advice - believe me, without that we'd be groping about in the dark.

We can find out how to do it from google, but not unless we know it's important!

Well, then, YAY! You're welcome!

many members of poor_skills have ordered from zenni or similar places, and I think most have pretty good luck. you might be able to find some posts or pictures in tags or memories there if you want personal reviews
