Recommendations for eye glasses

[Rreemo]

I figured some of you 4-eyed fools would have some good recommendations. I wear contacts most of the time, but now that I'm an old fuck I need glasses when I'm not wearing my contacts. My current frames are getting pretty old, and of course my prescription changed on my last visit as well. So time for a new setup.

There is a decent place attached to my Eye Doc's office, but they seem a little pricey and my insurance is mostly used up on the contacts...wondering if any of those places like eyeglasses.com are worth a try? I got my last set of glasses at Target optical, they've lasted a long time, but I recall they were a pain to deal with on the partial insurance coverage, took forever for them to come in, and they also screwed up one of my lenses.

Anyways...anyone have any good recommendations - if local, on the FT. Worth side of town or up near Denton would be nice.

TIA

Zenni is dirt cheap compared to any store you'll visit. The frames usually have 100% markup but lenses are more like 300%!

Just get all the measurements and what not from your Dr and buy your glasses online. I have a pair or two from coastal contacts and they were 25% of what lens crafters was for my first set. They are all Oakley glasses.

Can I use my flex account when buying elsewhere, say online maybe? Also can I use my flex for prescription sunglasses?

Went with my girl to get her some glasses yesterday, people there must have mentioned Tom Ford about 20 times. They cost about $500...

I did... I did have to submit it to my flex account people though after

Good to know, thanks. Did you have to pay out of pocket and get reimbursed or were you able to use your flex card?

Picked up a two pair of oakleys @ Costco. Clear and a set of sunglasses. Was about half what other retail places wanted.

Thanks Tim - Looks like they do have some deals.

Another good recommendation....I didn't even think about them. I already have a membership too.

When i found out i needed glasses, i went ahead and got them at my GF's uncle's business (where i found out my eye sight was bad) They are Oakley's REVOs i believe. They should have been $900, but i got them for $450 (family discount). I also got everything you can get for the lense, scratch, glare, transition, etc.

I am wanting to get laser eye surgery. I hate glasses!!! I have astigmatism though.
