Cheap Source For Prescription Glasses.....

[ptcary]

Just wanted to post this up. I recenly bought myself a rather expensive pair of Oakley frames and EV 4.0 transitions lenses. I ordered every option I could get on the lenses and even with my government employee discounts these suckers were expensive!

Knowing that the transitions would not change in the car (Windshield blocks UV light that normally changes the lense) I set out to get a cheap pair of presciption sunglasses to use in the car. I also wanted something that I could use when working out and on my roadbike, that would keep me from damaging my primary glasses.

With prescription in hand, I hit the web and discovered www.zennioptical.com. They have really cheap prices! After a little more looking around, I decided to order some sport goggles from them. They also sell all kinds of frames.

They are a great cheap place to get prescription glasses from. They take about 2 weeks to ship to you, maybe longer depending on how many options you choose.

I orderred some flip up sport sunglasses. They did a great job on the prescription insert, I only added UV protection to the insert lenses.

The plastic frame is nothing fancy, comparable to regular sunglasses you would buy at Wallmart.

My total was $54 shipped!

Keep them in mind if you need cheap glasses, need a back up pair for emergencies, need sunglasses/sport goggles, or have kids that go through a lot of frames.

Yeah, yours motivated me to check out the Oakley frames! I ended up with "Sine" in blackcherry color. Had it not have been for my work discount they would have been just North of $500.

Transitions are a love em or hate em kinda lense. I like them, they are better than I expected, I already knew about them from coworkers. If they would change in the car, I would have been 100% happy with them.

Your Oakleys look great! I didn't look at the metal frames, cause my face is so skinny that polycarb/plastic frames could be heated up and shaped to fit me better.
