i have used Hindsight (Pinellas Plaza) several times for both bifocals and later progressive glasses and I was very pleased with the short time for glasses and the high quality.

There’s Peepers in Colony. Same group as Hindsight. Great service.

Sam's has done a good job for me in the past but you do have to wait about a week for the lenses.

I was there today, Sam's Optical is closed, you can't even try on frames because you would be touching something. They said, check back in a week or two.

I bought my last glasses online from Zenni.com. High quality and very inexpensive. They were single lens, not bifocal, but they do sell bifocals. The starting price for a pair of single lens glasses is about 7 dollars. Amazing.

It is Zennie.com and they have good prices. My daughte has worn the same pair from them for 6 years and they have held wonderfully.

I use Hindsight in Pinellas Plaza for lenses and frames. Also had RX sunglasses made up. Can go in any time and get a "tune up." Very happy.

Thanks. You are correct. The name is Zenni.com.

I would also add that this online store is so much cheaper than buying glasses at a store that it is really worth trying it.
