I just checked out bestpriceglasses, and their selection of frames is not exactly the same as 39dollarglasses. The site may be based on the same underlying platform but it doesn't really look like 38dollarglasses. So I doubt it's the same company.
What's really stupid about both bestpriceglasses and eyebuydirect is that even though I'm looking at "glasses for HER" the default is to show me the frames on the face of some guy! I've been very happy with 39dollarglasses - I think I have two pairs from them - but they really need to increase their frames selection, and include a section of higher priced frames, which I would pay for. I would love to order from them again but they've got nothing else that I want. :( In particulary, I'm looking for some higher quality plastic frames than what they sell. (I also have some nice computer glasses from eyebuydirect but, again, their frame selection is pretty limited, and they don't do short-frame progressives, which is silly.) On May 15, 3:03 pm, "J.
