I'm not accustomed to writing reviews about companies. I haven't even done this for my own sister's web business though she asked me to, a couple years ago. I hate doing it, because it looks really bad on a website - and a lot of people who write these kind of articles are doing it disingenuously. But I just had an excellent experience ordering glasses from a company which is called Zenni Optical. They basically sell you glasses with relatively inexpensive frames at bargain prices. Their lowest priced glasses are $8.00 - and that includes both the price of molding the lenses, and the cost of the frames. I got a rimless pair with titanium metal ear and nose pieces for $50. The frames are fair to middling in quality - nothing special really - but they are respectable... and the lenses are just as good as any pair you would buy for a lot more money. You need to have your prescription (they don't check the date ;-) ), and also what they call a "pd measurement" - which is the distance between your pupils in millimeters. If you walk into your local big box store's optical department, they'll probably give you a pd measurement for free. It's really a company which is well worth checking into. A new pair of glasses can be a real burden financially for some folks who live meagerly like myself.
