Best place online to buy eyeglasses?
 

I spent over $300 on my eyeglasses getting them through the doctor and my frames are extremely ugly. I never pursued buying new ones because I really don't wear them that much and didn't feel like spending $200 again on lenses, but a friend told me you can get frames and lenses online really cheap.

Any suggestions?

How exactly does the process work? Select frames you like, then fax in your prescription?

i purchased sunglasses at popularglasses.com (non prescription, not sure how prescription works)

Don't they have to use that little thing that looks like a viewmaster to measure your eyes for glasses? I thought they had to do that even AFTER you got a prescription.

I go next week to get stronger reading glasses and since the only time I look at things at a distance and rarely drive at night, prescription sunglasses. Tried the unlined bifocals and felt like I was on acid.

I bought three pair from Optical4Less less than two years ago. All with decent wire frames, scratch resistant coat, and anti-UV coat for CRTs. It cost me about $90 for all three to the US. Took roughly three weeks to get them.
