Walmart 441
We were treated very professionally and personably there. Price is right also.
I love Dr Geddes there also.

That's amazing. That is much better than Walmart.

Peepers has the better quality lenses. You can buy cheaper ones but they are not as clear and crisp as the material Peepers uses.

The focus on the customer and attention to detail are far, far better than almost any other provider of the same quality.

Default Shop online if you're comfortable with it ...

Especially since you already have the script, you can shop online at places like Goggles4u. They have very basic product—as well as high quality product. Their website is cleverly set up so you can select options and see what will work for what you want. I have bought glasses from them and have been more than happy with not just the price but the result as well!

I buy mine here. I wouldn't waste my time and money buying at a physical store. These glasses are the same as what you would get from the local optician for a lot less money.

I like to use anybody local. Then, if I have a problem I can resolve it without mailing the glasses back.
Sat on my glasses once (actually more than once) brought my glasses into the store and they fixed them right on the spot.

What about trying the frames on? I want comfortable frames that I like. How do you do that using an online order?

I bought new progressive lenses last year at Sam's. I chose their best lens and was so glad I did. The clarity is outstanding and I had no adjustment at all to the new brand of lens. The opticians there are very knowledgeable and I will not hesitate to go back. Debbie solved a problem my husband had been having with new sunglass lenses that he bought at Costco...turned out he can not wear polycarbonate lenses. I was an optician before I retired 15 years ago. Even I didn't realize that this was his problem since I rarely ever sold that material unless it was for sports glasses. The biggest problem I have had since moving here is finding Younger Nupolar, polarized progressive lenses. They are fabulous and I can't imagine being without them in the sun and glare that we have here. Many shops carry cheaper progressive sunglass lenses. I HAVE found the Nupolar at Optical Outlets in Lady Lake, but you have to almost beg them to order them.

How do you know they will fit your face or sit on your nose bridge correctly?

they tell you how to measure yourself. ive used online for years without a problem. high quality for half the price. you have the option of top of the line or lesser quality. whatever you want.it will be half what you will pay locally.
global or zenni are good dealers.
