My order of two pairs of computer glasses from Optical4Less arrived yesterday, 14 days after I ordered. I picked them up at the post office this morning, and they both seem fine, well made, and the prescription appears to be correct. Both frames have spring-loaded hinges, which was not mentioned in the description of the frames on the site, but is a great addition.
Before I ordered, I did e-mail with a question about the AR coating, and was promptly answered. I received a confirmation e-mail when I ordered and when the glasses were shipped, then was able to track them on the USPS site. I am glad I found out about ordering glasses over the internet. A month or so ago, I paid $560+ (after insurance, so the total would have been $750 easily ) for one pair of rimless, titanium progressive lens glasses and one new frame of the same type for the previous pair of glasses, which had broken. I waited almost 4 weeks, and finally called the optical shop, where, imagine that, they “had just come in.” I went to get them, and the sales clerk just handed me the two cases and said, “Have a great day!” I insisted on taking them out and trying them on, and she knew nothing about centering the lenses, fitting the temples, etc. She just kept saying, “They look great to me!” With all due respect to the optometrists and opticians who have replied to this blog, just paying a lot of money and buying glasses in a store doesn’t guarantee anything. Believe me, I can easily get the same service over the internet that I got from this gal! My next purchase will probably be sunglasses with distance-only lenses for driving, and then I will try ordering a progressive lens pair.
