See my last post RE Zenni. The pair I'd sent back for repair I finally got back around 9/8. So it took foreeeever for them to send back the glasses! But the operation was pretty painless, and the glasses I got back are perfect. In fact, the last pair was a bit crooked, but this pair is much better! I've gotten a ton of compliments. Went to the eye doc today for 2-yr exam. Prescription is the same, and I happened to be wearing the very pair I just got back from Zenni today, so that was the pair they used to 'confirm my prescription from last time'. The glasses checked out! I did get a new pair from the eye doc because my insurance covers the total frame and lens cost for a specific set of frames. BUT - I have to pay for any special coatings. And since I seem to have some annoyance when I don't have anti-reflective coating, I wanted that. But whereas this coating is $5 from places like Zenni, it's $48 from my eye doc!! I won't even spend that much on a whole set of glasses from online! Oh well. In addition to the ones from the eye doc, I am going to get a pair of rimless ones from Zenni as well (and my mom is getting a pair too). There was a pair I liked at the doc, but they looked sooo much like ones at Zenni, I figured I'd get the plastic pair from the doc since those sometimes need trying on, and I knew I liked them. And the Zenni rimless is a good deal at around $25. Oh - also - I had a couple pairs I needed adjusted (always have probs with tightness rt behind my ears). One was an older pair from the doc, and one was a pair of prescription sunglasses from WalMart. She adjusted the doc pair no prob, then adjusted the WalMart pair, but had to go back and do more adjustments, and warned that she didn't want to adjust them too much because she didn't know about the plastic quality with them being from WalMart and didn't want them ruined. I just thought it was funny. Since no one had said anything when checking the prescription and fit on my $8 pair I was wearing! My friends now joke that I use glasses as jewelry :) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Check us out at the oft-updated http://www.glassyeyes.com!
