If you wear glasses

this website is worth a look. I paid $8 (plus $5 shipping) for my prescription glasses with all the extras.

You'll need a prescription before you can order. I got this tip from Clark Howard's website. It's legit, I'm wearing the glasses now. It takes a week or two to arrive.

My wife and I each bought a pair from them and they were fine. I suspect they are made in PRC, hence the delay, but I don't recall any country of origin on the packaging.

Both my wife and I have bought several pair from them; very pleased with the quality.... and we didn't buy the cheapest frames either.
A total bargain, it didn't take but maybe a week to get them even though I suspect they are made in China.

Thanks for posting that link. I might order some. At those prices, you can hardly lose.

I ordered a pair of sunglasses from them and they're pretty good. Took exactly 2 weeks to arrive, and the prescription is correct. They are made in China, then shipped to California, then shipped to the person who ordered them. If you have an easy prescription they should not mess it up.

G, you're getting that confused with another "recreational" activity...

They have a great variety. I need costume glasses every once in a while. I wonder if they can be had without prescription... Or maybe with a weak one?

I just got mine and they're great. Thanks again Jentay. I saved a lot of money by going to them. I think I'll order a pair of perscription sunglasses from them, too.

I saw some in the mall at an optician's shop pretty similar to these I just got from Zenni Optical. The ones at the mall were around $400.00. These cost $80.00. Schweeeeet!
