I like Peepers Eye Care at Colony Plaza. 352-259-1621. I've gotten two pair of glasses there over the years. Nice staff and very efficient

I think Hindsight is excellent. They are professional and knowledgeable.

I just got a pair of progressive with Transitions XtraActive (darkens in a car and under a hat) lenses with Titanium frames for $188.39 after all coupons. Lenscrafters wanted $1500, 2 local stores were between $1000 and $1100. I got these from EYEBUYDIRECT.COM (EBD). They always have LOTS of different coupons which can reduce the price by 30-40%

Now while I am not saying the EBD frames are as good quality (I have no way to tell but they are fine by me and sure seem the same as the $400 ones from local stores) I can buy 5 to 6 pairs for the price of ONE PAIR from any of the local stores. Been buying from EBD for probably 7-8 years without any issues. Last pair lasted me 4 years and only reason I replaced them was Rx changed.

Zenni and the others are excellent as well but have nowhere near the selection of frames & lenses as EBD. Can't beat their price.

I go locally for an exam and a prescription and order elsewhere.

Thanks again everyone. I went back to HindSight and picked out a cheaper frame, since I am not a fashion aficionado, and I need them quickly. It is too hard for me to measure my own PD, as one of my eyes drifts to one side. I was also concerned about the frames fitting my fat head. HindSight measured my PD, so now I have it and then they said come back in half an hour. When I got back they were ready.

My nest pair will be from an on-line site, probably from Warby Parker as I liked their site and actually spoke with someone there.

Thanks again.

I went to Hindsight once to see what they charge and didn't go with them because they're so expensive. I did purchase a pair of glasses at Sam's Club. They are very reasonably priced and I'm happy with my purchase.

Sam's Club or Walmart.

Three is an optical outlet in the bestbuy shopping center, that has very reasonable prices.
