Had an eye exam about a month ago and was looking for some new eye wear which I need for driving. Manager at a coffee shop I go to mentioned an on line place that also has some walk in stores around the country, Warby Parker. I have always just used Lenscrafters but he told me to check out their web site. For $100 you can get a single vision prescription with some really nice frames which they have a great selection of. You sign up and then upload or email your script, pick out your frames and you are all set. I decided to take a flyer. I ordered them a week and a half ago and they arrived today. Frames are perfect and the prescription is right on the money. Saved over $200. They will actually send you up to 5 different frames to try on before you order which I didn't take advantage of. Highly recommend.

Cost me 360 about 10 days ago WITH my insurance for eye exam and I used my old frames. I do get no line bifocals and tint for sun and no glare at night etc.  That probably is what gigs me.

Probably would have cost you about $175 on Warby Parker.

For the no line bifocals and no glare and tint?

I am just guessing but you can go to their site and put the info in and it will give you the price.
425 for what I need but that included the frame. No eye exam.  I think the eye exam is important

Wow. Sorry it doesn't work for you. If I was you I still would probably order a pair from them with just distance lenses as a spare. Â
I was going to order some shades too but found another place, Shady Ray's, where the deal is even better for sunglasses. Eye wear has such a high mark up that places are springing up undercutting the big companies. I am getting some nice polarized shades with my script for $148. You should consider something like that for driving.
I got new glasses earlier this year. Even with my insurance I think I paid around $300 out of pocket. I'm just really near-sighted. No bifocals or anything. I can see up close just fine. It's just anything 3 inches past my eyes is where I have a problem. Â

Sounds like their pricing would work well for you.
Is it just me, or does the name Warby Parker sound like it could have been a cartoon strip from the good ole days? Just sayin'

That definitely works as well. Â

Yeah, I pay a ton for my glasses, even with insurance. Last year I took a copy of my prescription to Walmart and was surprised how inexpensive they were. The frames were good, so I ordered 2 more pair which I keep for hunting/spares. (along with the dozen or so older pairs I have accumlulated.)
