Eyes On Bargains
Bargain of bargains: I ordered prescrip sunglasses through zennioptical.com for $19.99 including shipping.
You upload a closeup of yourself to try on various pairs, which I did. Some of the pairs there are $27, but many are $9.99. You pay about $5 for the sunglass tint and about $5 for shipping. I have my prescrip already from Kaiser, my HMO, so I just input it with my order.
They just came and they look great on, and the nosepiece is very comfortable. The only hiccup is that the site's tracking (of your shipment, which I got via the USPS) doesn't seem to work.
No photos of me in them yet -- I got carsick on the way home from Palm Desert (embarrassing -- it's not like I'm 8) where we went to visit friends, so Gregg brought me home on Sunday and put me to bed.
USPS tracking never works. It's not zennioptical's fault.

I've used zennioptical for glasses for a few years. My glasses are progressive trifocals and the best I can find locally cost $400 last time I bought them. From zenni, I got three pair (including prescription sunglasses) for under $200.
The only problem is that I have to bend the arms to fit or pay Sears Optical or someone else to do it for me.
