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 just checked Zenni & their starting price is now $8!!! http://zennioptical.com/cart/home.php 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. http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/20...es-josh-silver Quite an interesting concept! -- William |
