I have my eyeglass prescription, and now I'd like to know where to get eyeglasses made. Goodbye eyeglass readers. I hate getting old ;-) Thank you.

Sams, Costco or Zenni optical online. Sams membership is usually free after rebate promotion. Zenni has many coupons. Check slickdeals.net

Eyeglasses are one of the greatest rip offs in existence. Frames are often marked up 10x.

I use Zenni.com. Excellent eyeglasses starting at about 7 dollars a pair.

Thank you both. How does one measure for fit with on-line glasses?

Use Eye Buy Direct online. I got tired of paying high prices and having to go back over and over until they got the prescription right. So far Eye Buy Direct has gotten it right every time except once, and I contacted them and they sent me another pair that was right. And the prices are very low.

How do you measure what size glasses will fit your head? I only use readers, so I don't have a size to give them.

Walmart now has all brand name glasses no more cheap junk.

I dunno. I guess I would go to a local optometrist and ask them to measure me.

In my case, that and the iris offsets are on my prescription I got from the Optometrist at the VA.

Sadly the VA doesn't do glasses, they sub-contract it out to a crappy company. While my glasses are free through them, they just aren't worth the hassle.

To be clear, the VA Optometrists are great, the private glass company sucks.

You can upload your face picture from a device to show how it would look. You can print a measuring tool from the website. The size of frames are listed in the description

Not sure which measurements you are asking about.

I have used HindSight in Pinellas plaza for years. I need progressive lens with prisms, etc. The local companies send these out, and 2 weeks later you get glasses, Hindsight does these is 1 to 2 days, and they are close by if i need repairs or adjustments. I consider the prices reasonable as I cannot use the 'cheater' type glasses.

Warbyparker.com will send you frames to try on for free. They will charge a bit more than Zenni. It was one of the fastest growing companies

I have used HindSight. They have very good customer service. I did have problems with the glasses, but they expedited a new pair the same day. My only issue with them is they are a bit expensive. I can certainly recommend them for someone that wants a local brick-and-mortar instead of online.

Thanks everyone. I did run over to HindSight. They wanted over $200 for the same style frame EBD and Zenni had for about $70. I'll also look at warbyparker.com
