Have you priced prescription glasses recently?

Yep. Get them mailed here from offshore places like
http://www.zennioptical.com/ where they do a first-class job.

You're a sucker to pay the hometown optician racket any more.

Geesh!

I was truly unaware such existed. Where are these people located? Have
you done satisfactory business with them? The product is good?

As I type this, with my ~$600.00 glasses, I am beginning to wish I'd known
about this sooner!

Me, too. But, I've got an odd prescription (very nearsighted, bad
astigmatism, bifocals). A few years back, I tried to save some money. Pearl,
LensCrafters and Wal-Mart completely phuqued up the prescription, but all
said "We followed the numbers provided by the doctor". Well, not really.
Back to the usual expensive optician, who did a perfect job, as usual.

Fortunately, this little experiment cost me nothing but wasted time.
