Personally, I wouldn't even consider Zenni at this time. They seem to be having one of their intermittant shipping fiascos again. If it was me, I'd consider having your existing frames re-lensed (reglazed) where I have a better choice as to lens types. You might want to check out http://www.eyeglasslensdirect.com Their prices aren't as good as the sites listed here, but they're much better than Pearle's prices, and their lens selection is excellent.
