Glasses Wearers--Read This!

I wear glasses, and the cost for frames and lenses have gone up astronomically over the past few decades. The markup is huge and very unfair.

I thought I had no alternative, but my local ABC ran an excellent story discussing Online Eyeglasses sources.

You can get your glasses online with a current prescription, but you MUST also request the PD (puppilary distance) also to be written on the RX. The video states that some optometrists will be reluctant to give the PD info, since this lessens the chance that you'll buy your glasses from them.

Here's the link to the story:

(Click on the "Watch Video" button on the bottom left of the blue video screen)

Here are the websites mentioned:
EyeBuyDirect.com
ZenniOptical.com
39DollarGlasses.com
EyeglassFactoryOutlet.com

I'm so happy to share this! No more $250 frames from the mall!

I work for a group of Optometrists and we always give PD's on each and every script we write up. An legit doctor will do this as it is part of your RX, after all that RX belongs to you, you paid for it. I would not go back to a doctor who didn't want to include this.
