So how does that work?

You purchase the frames first and then send them to the online shop that makes the lenses so they get the fitment correct?

I use to buy Pradas for eyeglasses at Lenscrafters and now with kids my luxury loving self has to take a back seat. I went to Walmart this time around and in all they were fast, cheap and my glasses are really nice. They had a sale at the time where you buy the frame for $9.00 and then the lenses. I think in total my eyeglasses were $37.00 and my exam was under $60.00.

Not sure I would go that route. Who measures the P.D.? When you are talking millimeters I am not sure I would trust to do it myself.
