I know plenty of people that use Zenni as well. My wife uses Warby Parker, and while they are a bit more than Zenni (still a great deal though) they also seem to be better quality.

I've heard great things about Warby Parker as well. I understand they will send you frames to try on before you buy. Stylish stuff too! I'd love to try them but they don't offer progressive lenses.

America's Best has eye exam and two pairs for $70. I have used them for over 10 years and never had a problem.

Warby Parker now carries progressive lenses! They are an excellent company, quality stylish glasses (frames & lenses) all for $95. Make sure you get the free try on frames, so you aren't dissappointed when you receive your glasses in the mail. You pick out 5 frames, and they give you 5 days to decide. No obligation to buy. Free shipping to and from. Warby Parker is the best!

Fantastic !!!! Thanks so much for posting the information.

While it's quite a bump in price for progressives (especially compared to Zenni) between the try-on program, free shipping, and their efforts to assist folks that are in desperate need of glasses, it seems like a small premium to pay. It also helps that those are the coolest frames. It's going to be difficult to choose which five frames to test out.

Thanks again, much appreciated.

Another positive experience with Zenni. On my 5th pair in about 6+ years from them. I've even got an outdoor pair of sport goggles from them that I use when working in the yard. I think I paid $30 for those with my prescription, lol.
