I was wondering if someone could give me some advice on buying my glasses online. For the past 3 years I've been getting my glasses from a franchised Pearle Vision, of all places, and they've been the best glasses I've ever had. Unfortunately, they cost me upwards of $350. I have a small face (looking for metal frames approx 125mm total width, 46mm eye width, 23mm height, 125mm temple) and a high prescription -8.5 and -8.75 with astigmatism. I normally buy adult- looking kids frames.
First, I'm a bit confused about lens materials. I see both polycarbonate and CR-39 1.67. Is the PearleThin lens I have (Seiko 1.67 Hi-Index I think) the same as the 1.67 polycarbonate? What lens material should I be looking for? I'm willing to pay a premium for the thinnest lens, but I don't want glass. Second, does anyone have any insight on places that have a good selection of kids frames? I found some I like at Goggle 4 U, but I saw in a post somewhere that their lens options are thicker than at Zenni. At Zenni, I can't find frames that fit me. Does anyone have any general advice, or do I need to stick with the local, expensive shops? Thanks is advance. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Check us out at the oft-updated http://www.glassyeyes.com!
