Ira, thanks so much for your thorough response. I suppose that the quality of frames can't be too bad on the inexpensive sites. What is attractive about paying so little for glasses is that even if they aren't the greatest frame material, you didn't lose that much money in the process. And they might turn out to be pretty good. My fear is that the inexpensive sites might turn out to be analogous to the "dollar store" I mentioned. A dollar store -- where an item actually costs a dollar -- is a great value but they have brands that are completely unknown and whose quality is clearly somewhat below recognized brands. I often get food from them and while the taste isn't the greatest, it's still good solid food, at least to someone like me who doesn't have a palate. However, glasses aren't a $1 bag of chicken chunks; they're very important articles. I realize that glasses are marked up at other stores but they are known brands. I have to wonder where the brands at 39dollarglasses, for instance, come from. So I'm still unsure.
