Affordable online place for glasses?

What are some sites that have affordable glasses online?  What do you need for them (like the measurement from your pupils and what else?) 

 Thanks for your help.  I am getting my eyes checked tomorrow so a new pair is in my future.

Re: Affordable online place for glasses?

  • Some people recommended Warby Parker and I plan to place my order with them this week. I did home try-on.

    Excellent customer service. You need the PD (they'll reimburse you if its at a cost) and the prescription.

  • www.zennioptical.com has a large selection and are inexpensive.

     ETA: also, the quality is pretty decent considering how cheap they are, I have several friends who religiously order from the site and are always really pleased.

  • Depending on whether they're just single vision or multifocals you will need a PD(for both) and a seg height for the later.  A lot of optical shops don't give out pd's though

    I have over 6 pairs of Warby Parker and love them. I also have rx sunglasses from them.  I love the price, styles and the customer service.  They are on facebook too so you can check them out.  They respond to all questions if you post.

    They were doing a promo a little over a year ago and I picked up a pair of Lucky prescription glasses for $15!

    You need your prescription and the measurement between your pupils.  The site walks you through measurements.

    Same here. "Like" them on Facebook and you will see promotions. I'll never pay a fortune for glasses again.

  • I second zennioptical. Have ordered there multiple times (bc I lose them) and they have a large selection and are something like $6.97/pair and they have a thing where you can find a face shape that is like yours and try the glasses on virtually.

  • This is one thing I would have a very hard time buying online.  When I buy glasses, I usually need to try on dozens (some over and over) before finding one that looks good on my face, looks good for my coloring and fits right (last year I bought a pair of Tiffany glasses that looked great...but apparently my head...or more accurately the distance of my ears from my face, was too small).
