PS - I have to admit, these sites have the ability to search by frame dimensions:
http://www.optical4less.com - allows filtering by ALL dimensions http://www.eyebuydirect.com - allows filtering by only width of frame And, like people have said, I think Zenni's win is because they have such a variety of sizes that you can find the size you need. There's 3 other big online places I wasted hours on who had no way to search by size and the selection was terrible. It's amazing none of these places have learned from each others mistakes and created some sort of Amazon type storefront. It's not like online retail is a new concept. On Jul 14, 9:52 am, "J.
