Forum Archive
You're at the forum archive. The forums were taken down years ago due to some unfortunate astroturfing attempts by a couple retailers. At the time, I was very concerned about exposing readers to a bunch of input-that-might-be-fake, or creating a situation where the well-behaved retailers were at a disadvantage.
However, because a number of readers had posted helpful comments & reviews, and I didn't want to see it all vanish into oblivion permanently, I kept a backup around. What you're seeing now is that backup (almost 7 years old now - don't ask how I managed to get it running again...). Things are a bit scattered, and you can't post anything new (the buttons have all been disabled), but the original content is here if you're interested.

While I wait for Lenscrafters to grind my lenses properly (I hope) so I can verify my new prescription is OK, I continue to look for on-line sites and figure out what I'm going to order.
This morning, I ran across globaleyeglasses.com. Based in USA (adress in Georgia, a couple of photographs of their facility), frame+lens+USA shipping starts at $20. This is, of course, for "bare bones" eyeglasses. Scratch coat, anti-glare, tinting, etc. are all extra. No extra charge for high astigmatism (I have -3.25 in one eye, so this is something I look for).
The web site seems incomplete. There are a few broken links. Frame selection is limited. But I'm considering a plastic frame as backup Rx sunglasses, and what they have might fit the bill.
My biggest complaint is their lack of lens height information. It's hard to judge from a picture alone; give me the numbers and I know what's being offered. |
