Here's another one:

Order placed 2/20/09 (Friday afternoon)
Sipping notice received 3/6
Glasses in my mailbox 3/9 (Monday)

That's the 11th business day after placing the order.

These are progressive lenses in a rimless, clear plastic, hingeless
frame -- "invisible" glasses. And they are quite unobtrusive (and
nearly weightless).  Apparently optically perfect, as my other 5 Zenni
pairs have been. $65 shipped with AR coating.

For these I experimented with a sort of hybrid progressive formula,
reducing the ADD from 2.25 to 1.00. I never use my glasses for close
work anyway, so the stronger ADD is a waste and reduces the usefulness
of the intermediate section. So these glasses "progress" from distance
at the top to computer at the bottom, a much milder gradation.

For me, they are (I hope) much more useful for "all-around" use, since
none of the lens area is wasted on a close-up section I never use. I
still have my single-vision computer glasses next to my home and
office workstations for extended sessions.

This whole idea of playing around with my prescription and creating
specialty glasses for all occasions is really life-altering, and only
possible because of these low-cost online opticians like Zenni and
sites like GlassyEyes that empower us to take charge of our own
optical destinies. It's really wonderful.
