I got mine for $30, they can make them mute expensive, but for just glasses, it’s perfect.

I bought one pair from them and they were pretty crumby. Also getting the pupillary distance is tricky.

Measuring your own PD is ehhh. You can have the optometrist give you PD at your exam.

Good luck. Then the front of the store won’t get any business.

I have bought at least 10 pair from Zenni optical and they were just fine.

I second this, but OP says they have special lens needs. That’s what stacks the price.

I used them and they were great good-enough glasses.

So far my $30 glasses is going strong for 5 years now.

When I got LASIK I wasn’t allowed to wear contacts for a few weeks before the surgery. I bought the cheapest pair of glasses from Zenni. I had new glasses for $17 + $10 shipping.
If I had to do it again I would have my IPD measured by a proper optometrist first. I just guessed at it and got ones a little too small, so they had a kind of fisheye effect.
Still, for <$30 it was a great bargain

I got mine with their HD lenses, no-line bifocals with antiglare coating, and the total came to $135 shipped.

While my initial reaction to this was “wholly fuck that’s expensive” I realize that all those modifiers would make it close to a grand at a glasses shop.
