Thanks Ira, they're a little small for my big head. I think the smallest I could get away with would be 137 or 138mm (I usually wear 138-142mm TW). I hope they start putting this info on there site soon. I took a chance and ordered a couple of pairs for computer glasses since they don't sell progressive lenses yet. Hopefully I picked ones with a large enough lens size so the glasses fit me in the total width department. I tried the Kam Dhillon 3014 with 57mm lens width @ $19.97 and a $6.95 pair just for fun (Joseph Marc 4002) Ordered on Saturday April 25 and they shipped Tuesday April 28 by Canada Post Xpress Post from Vancouver. ETA to Winnipeg, Mb is tommorrow (April 30) and I just picked the standard $9.95 shipping option. There Canadian site (clearlycontacts) had these same frames on sale for $38 per pair. The 2 pairs that I ordered from there US website came to $38.72 US including shipping (+ aprox 20% extra for the Cdn exchange rate), but would have cost me almost $90 to order the same thing from there Canadian website. Glad I saw the info on Glassyeyes before I ordered from the Canadian website. I ordered right after your review so I missed out on the extra 15%, but a heck of a deal anyway. I'm used to waiting 2 or 3 weeks for my glasses this will be a first, getting a couple of new pairs in just 5 days. Hope they work out as well as your wooden pair.
