Discount Eyeglasses

Totally off-topic, but I've been getting more and more disgusted at the constantly rising prices and falling quality of eyeglasses.

My last Lens Crafters "top of the line" rimless glasses cost almost $600 and lasted less than a year.

I stumbled across a few sites recently that make glasses overseas and import them to the US (or other places) at tremendous discount. Anyway, got a new prescription a few weeks ago and ordered 2 pair of glasses from http://www.zennioptical.com The way you can choose a rimless frame, and then pick from tons of different lens sizes/shapes was very cool.

I got the glasses in about 2 weeks, and the quality is much higher than I was expecting. Comparable if not better than what I can get locally. I got a pair of rimless and a black plastic "fashion" frame with high index lenses, AR, etc for less than $80 shipped.

Can't beat it.

I purchase all my eyeware from JC Penny Optical and have never paid more than $170.00 for no line bifocals, including rimless frames. I thought that I was getting the best price, but looks like you got mine beat.

I'm surprised with all these high end watches noone talks about high end eyeglasses. I personally own my second pair of Cartier gold and wood frames, a pair of fred, persol and versace sunglasses all prescription. I look at eyeglasses like watches, I wear them every day so they have to be the best.

My previous frames include yves st laurent, cazal, versace, neostyle, and a few others I can't remember. I have tried on some others, but nothing compares with the cartier's IMO.

I take it you don't have young kids? :D

My kids have always grabbed my glasses and played with them, bent them, sat on them etc. Never done that with my watches.

No, I don't. I guess that makes sense. I almost went cheap when I lost my first pair of Cartier's. Left them at the bar and voila, they dissapeared. I am much more careful now.
