Guys, Have a look at zennioptical.com
You will fall of your chair when you learn how cheap glasses can be. All you need is your prescription. 1. upload your smiling face to the site, 2. try on some frames, and 3. buy the ones you want. Delivery is about 10-15 days They will do Distance, reading, bifocal, multifocal. They have an online chat service to assist if required. Straight reading glasses need a bit of massaging of the script values, but zenni will help with this. What they dont have is a high quality sunglasses, but they will sell you a cheap polarized clip on for $6 Cheers Mark On Fri, Aug 23, 2013 at 11:26 AM, Bernie Baer <bb...@internode.on.net>wrote: > > > Hi DMcD, > thanks for the comments.
