    Best Place to Buy Glasses Online

    After getting ripped off at Lenscrafters several years ago ($450 out the door, and that was after a 1/2 price sale), I'm determined to get a better deal on my next pair of glasses. It seems there are a lot of places online selling frames and lenses for much cheaper than the places in the mall. I don't need them immediately, so I'm okay with a little wait.

    Has anyone purchased glasses online before? Any recommendations? Anything special to look out for?

    i actually have five frames from warbyparker.com right now that i'm trying on. they're at least as good as my expensive frames, and a full pair with lenses is only $95.

      You bought 5 frames, or do they let you try them and return?

        they let you pick five frames to try on and pay the shipping both ways.

              i've ordered from some of the ridiculously cheap sites (which ship directly from the manufacturer in china) like zenni and have always been really disappointed.

                I went ahead and did the try 5 option. If these are actually decent glasses, I'll be thrilled.

                  LOL, at all the attorneys. Do any of you know where I can get cheap legal advice online?

                          Have you seen the student loan debt of a lot of attorneys, of course we are trying to find where we can get cheap glasses online.

                            I'm not looking for an eye exam online. I'm just looking for decent frames without the 150% markup.

                              I've ordered several pairs from 39dollarglasses.com. The selection and sizes are poor but the delivery of the glasses were exactly what I was ordered. Good for kids that go through a new pair every couple of months.
