[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 595172, member: 1233"] UAN, I went to [url]www.goggles4u.com[/url]. I have used them before and the quality has gone up but not the prices, which is nice. I did NOt get the thin and light lenses because with rimless frames esp but also the half rim ones, the thicker lenses mean a more stable pair of glasses. Plus the cost of course. You enter your rx online. You can fax it to them if you want. They need the PD, or pupillary distance number. The other eyeglass places measure it with that thing that looks like a viewmaster from when we were kids. You know, the one you put the little cardboard circle with pictures in? It tells the distance between your pupils. Before you order, go to [url]http://glassyeyes.blogspot.com/[/url] and read.
