Most stores only offer a very limited selection of different size frames, and it is difficult to compare different models because they don't include all the dimensions. Most stores do not make custom frames anymore, so, if they don't have your size, you are out of luck. And, most of their styles only come in one size. You do need to provide Zenni with your prescription, including your pupil distance (PD).
The pupil distance is especially important (to me) and stopped me from ordering from Zenni. Hindsight has been a delight to work with - at Pinellas Plaza.

If you set up an account, don't buy right away, they'll send you offers every single day for things like 70% off everything or two for one offers.
I used Goggles4U for the first time last month. Ordered prescription bifocal sunglasses. Happy with the glasses and price, about $45, but took just over a month to get them. Ordered on June 16 and got them on July 17.
For the price, I'll probably order another pair just in case so I'll have them if I need them, probably will.

Yes, I've noticed that they will leave the PD off your prescription at times so make sure you ask when you get your examination. Like someone else mentioned, this is highly unlikely to change once you have it.

The pupil distance is extremely easy to measure. Zenni.com offers at least 10 times the selection and about an 80 percent discount as compared to most retail stores.

Where do you go if you need them adjusted after arrival? I’ve never had a new pair of glasses fit perfectly at first. They usually need some kind of adjustment to raise them, or straighten them. This is my biggest concern with ordering online.

The only adjustments they can make is to bend them, which you can probably do yourself. Also, almost any optical store will adjust or even repair glasses regardless of where you bought them for no charge.

Zenni.com glasses are so inexpensive that you can buy 4 or 5 pairs for the cost of one pair in a store.
