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.

I am sure you realize that did NOT actually answer the questions I posed.
Mainly why I asked, when I do business with off-shore associates, I get a
mastercard debit card, place an appropriate sum on the card and handle it
that way ...

Could you expand on what I previously asked, it would be greatly
appreciated?

Such as, you have a pair of these glasses which you find acceptable? I do
take your previous text as an affirmative, but would like concrete
confirmation--I know the money is small, which is at risk, still I don't
like being "stiffed."

Sorry if I went off on a bit of a tangent. I can't speak to the quality of
the offshore product, obviously. In fact, they might actually do a great job
with odd prescriptions, and finding out is a pretty cheap gamble.

In order to get a perfect answer to your question, you will need to compare
your prescription with those of other people who've used the service. Good
luck.
