Just received my second package in 3 years, of Zenni eyeglasses.
Titanium wireframe for reading and PC, heavier duty pairs with
x2 and x3 bottom bifocal for working with small parts etc.,
and a pair for my skeptical wife, who is overjoyed. Total price?
About 100.00. Prescriptions seem perfect. Lenses coated.
Try it for yourself... /mark in Canada

I had a bit of bad luck with a pair of their "3182 Memory Titanium Full-Rim
Frame" recently. Got tangled in my hair taking them off and they broke in half.

However at under $40 including shipping verses $190 for the last pair I bought
through an optician. (Chain store no less and add $50 for the exam to both
prices) I think I will take my chances with another from them. Just not
3182's...

Oh, not that you can buy a single pair from these folks, this thread made me
think of this article I found a few days ago.

Speaking for those of us with less hair we're not very sympathetic.
I think this says it all. At 1minute 20sec.
