I recently had my eyes examined and ordered a pair of glasses...transition lenses, progressive bi-focals, titanium bendable frames with the latest and greatest coatings.<br /><br />These same glasses with basically the same frame from the Walmart Optical shop would have cost $240. I paid $93. I did have to go to an optician to have the frames adjusted. The glasses are wonderful. My only complaint is that it took one day shy of three weeks from date of order to the arrival to me. But then, it was up to two weeks from the optician--so for nearly 150 dollars savings, well, it surely was worth it!LarryCminivhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17548333162642424412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-403592238381359956.post-46660515443328010732012-01-31T04:38:00.448-08:002012-01-31T04:38:00.448-08:00I know I sound like the others, but I could use a ...I know I sound like the others, but I could use a pair of glasses very soon.

Not only will the members be interested in saving money on glasses, but I'm sure some will be interested in the blog that you read.<br /><br />Thanks for this. I used JC Penney last time I got glasses. It was a sale, but I paid a whole lot more than $50.Darlene ~Bloggity Blogger~https://www.blogger.com/profile/08202901408911879517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-403592238381359956.post-17485659354055030122012-01-30T12:49:06.900-08:002012-01-30T12:49:06.900-08:00Glad the timing was right for you, Jenn...hope it ...Glad the timing was right for you, Jenn...hope it works out!LarryCminivhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17548333162642424412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-403592238381359956.post-44272518669857126252012-01-30T12:48:36.205-08:002012-01-30T12:48:36.205-08:00Maria, I'm really excited about finding this. ...Maria, I'm really excited about finding this.

As I said to Beth, above, the only downside is getting them fitted to your face but I think that's an easy work around.

I will check out Eyeglass Factory Outlet as well. The only downside I see is getting the glasses fitted but for free or a small charge, I suppose it can be done about anywhere.LarryCminivhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17548333162642424412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-403592238381359956.post-45799359793747878772012-01-30T11:24:22.642-08:002012-01-30T11:24:22.642-08:00Talk about timing!!

They cost $34.50 a pair, and that includes the lenses. Shipping is about $5, and they'll tint them into sunglasses for another $5, if you'd like. <br /><br />They also have a toll-free number and go out of their way to be helpful. You can even go into a local eyeglass shop, find a pair of frames that you like, write down the info (manufacturer and whatever info is on the inside of the glasses, model #, color, size, etc.), call the folks at the Eyeglass Factory Outlet and within a day they'll call you back with a price on that exact frame--always a lot cheaper than in the local optician's shop. <br /><br />Thanks for the link to Zenni Optical. I'll be sure to check them out, too!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
