Might as well check out Coastal while you're at it. Tons of top brands for fairly cheap + frequent coupons and specials.

There are a bunch of them, but here's why I like the two I mentioned.

1. Zenni has had the same semi-rimless frame I like for the last several years, which is pretty unusual, and their progressive design works fine for me even with their "standard" seg height. So, every time I order a new pair, the previous pair becomes a spare frame, though I've never needed to use one as the frames have never broken. Also, they come with magnetic polarized sunshades. So for $60 shipped, I get a set of good-looking progressives with AR coating and clipon sunglasses. I doubt anyone can beat that.

2. Eyebuydirect.com offers CR-39, while most places do not. At least this was true at the time I discovered this site. I use them for computer and distance (TV), and they often have buy one, get one free deals.

When I've had the lenses checked, the Rx has been dead-on accurate for both, and I even have a shitload of astigmatism, e.g. -4.0 in one eye. When I dot the progs from Zenni, they even got the asymmetric PD right. These places are completely legit, very high quality, and the equal of local shops charging 5x as much.
