[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 206163, member: 1233"] I have had several pairs of glasses from Zenni Optical and they held up well. They were NOT as sturdy as some I have had, but were not as flimsy as others. LOOK at the enlarged pics of the frames before you order. I also have used the $39 dollar glasses place, and I was not as happy with them - took longer to get and they have to ride down my nose to fit the pupil properly. The real key is to get the pupillary distance measured at a Lenscrafters or pearle and then go order online. They are not supposed to give you grief about asking for this measurement, but the last time I DID get some grief - but not much. For more info on glasses, read this blog - [URL="http://www.glassyeyes.com"]www.glassyeyes.com[/URL] . It is quite informative, in my opinion. It MAY be more cost to get Travis' glasses at a local shop, esp if he breaks them often. The ones you buy online generally have no warranty. And I do NOT recommend the ones that can bend and pop back into shape. I have had trouble with them from mail order AND from the pricey local place with them not holding an adjustment and with screws coming out and being hard to fix. I have a high power prescription and a LOT of astigmatism, so not the easiest rx to fit. husband has a fairly easy rx, even for bifocals, so the online ones have been a breeze for him. Susie [/QUOTE]
