But, the magnification on the eyes is a function of how strong the
prescription is...not the refractive index of the material the lens is made
from. Of course, if his glasses were 3 inches thick, it'd be a different
story, but for normal people it's not an issue.
My view on Zenni is similar... Great resource, and the prices are
unbeatable. I see 3 potential scenarios.
1) The glasses turn out well, and you like them. Zenni is your favorite
company!
2) The glasses turn out well, but you don't like them. You have an
acceptable pair of backup glasses.
3) The glasses are messed up, and could be either returned for a 50%
refund, or donated to the needy through the Lion's Club.
Everyone wins, in that scenario.
BTW, the lenses in my Zenni glasses match my prescription *perfectly.*
They're not just within tolerances...my ophthalmologist was shocked with the
accuracy of the lenses when he checked them. And, they matched perfectly in
3 different pairs.
