I'm not sure how to respond to the people that replied to my message (can't figure out the system on the forum for doing so) but I do appreciate the feedback. The frames are wireless and the lenses that shattered were the CR-39 lenses. I have to live with the rigged up glasses because I need to see and can't mail the broken lenses and frame back to EyeBuyDirect until/unless I get new progressives. I responded to them with the problem on the email that I received from them soliciting my feedback on my shopping experience but I think they were just looking for positive responses and nobody responded.
