These places are completely legit, very high quality, and the equal of local shops charging 5x as much.



Can't argue with success. I'm definitely going to check these two out for my next pair, which is pretty much going to be any day now. I hate choosing new glasses. There are too many damn choices. At least now that I can shop for them online, I don't have to make a decision with dilated eyes in the waiting room.

It definitely helps to know what shape/size works on your face, but Zenni does let you upload a photo of yourself and try on frames virtually, which is pretty cool. They may all be doing that now.

One thing I would stay away from at Eyebuydirect is their new computer lenses. They sent me an email about it, and when I looked into it, they filter out blue light and are 1.57 index, which means they're some polycarbonate hybrid, with no doubt a high ABBE, not CR-39. Basically, they're everything I do NOT want in computer lenses. Fercrissakes, I calibrate my monitor with a meter for accurate color, and I don't want or need blue filtered. The last time I ordered was Dec 2013, but hopefully normal CR-39 with AR is still available. Those lenses have been great.
