- Zenni Optical. The customer service isn't the best, but some glasses are as low as $8 plus $5 shipping (which takes one to two weeks via USPS first-class mail). The glasses generally come from overseas and arrive in a padded envelope with a translucent plastic magnetic case.
- 39dollarglasses. One review said this was a great place to get a lens replacement for your frame, but there were mixed reviews as to the speed of shipping. The glasses arrive in a padded envelope with a high-quality case AND pouch.
My husband has a very strong prescription and he's pretty skeptical, but if I can save $200 on a pair of his glasses, I'm in.

I used Zenni a while back and got a pair of glasses and sunglasses, plus shipping, cases and lens cloth CHEAPER than one pair of glasses from the eye doctor. Got lots of complements on the look of the eye glasses but they were not as comfortable as they were to tight on my face but the sunglasses are comfortable.
I think if you feel confident that you know your prescription, including any stigmatism or that kind of thing, this might be worth doing.
Money-wise, I’m generally willing to try something once to give it a shot. I try not to feel disappointed if it doesn’t work out because I know how good it would have felt if it had and hey, I’ve learned something.
Thirteen dollars does sound suspiciously cheap though. Did you hear about that fire that killed a hundred people in a sweatshop? They were actually locked in there so that an order could be filled. If a pair of glasses usually costs you two hundred dollars, then it’s worth paying fifty or so for a pair online that can prove people aren’t being abused merely to preserve the health of your bank account.
Good luck.
I tried on several frames when I had my eye exam done, then they started that double talk about getting 2 frames for this price or 4 frames for that price. No matter what I did they claimed I could NOT buy just one pair. Huh? So I just looked at the side of the frames to see what style it was (I knew the brand, needed the style name) and went home. Insurance paid for the exam and I ordered my glasses online for $89. Sticker price on JUST the frames was $150 at the store. There’s nothing wrong with them and if they need to be adjusted any store will do it. I think people just need to be brave enough to stand up and walk out if they don’t like what’s available, you’re not obligated to purchase anything.
