Hello all, I've just received my first pair of glasses from goggles4u, also the first pair I've bought online. I've had the same pair of store-boughts for 4 years, but my prescription has changed considerably, and I decided it was time to try the net.
I ended up selecting a half-rimless frame (http://www.goggles4u.com/ detail.asp?Pid=32330), and decided to spring for the Polycarbonate lenses, as I am error prone and want these to last a while. I am fairly sure my last pair of glasses had polycarbonate lenses, as we opted for the second lowest package at America's Best or wherever it was, and I was very satisfied with them. The pair that just arrived, however, is a little perplexing to me. The lenses seem very thick, at least 1.75x as thick as my old pair (and I don't think my scrip has changed *that* much), and look, well, very plastic-y, as compared to my old pair. They have a ridge along the sides of lens that I think is necessary for them to sit in the frames properly, and I'm wondering if they might've cut CR39 lenses because that thickness is necessary for the frames I picked. Is there any way I can tell by looking if the lenses are CR39 or Polycarbonate, or maybe taking them in to a local shop? I'll probably keep the glasses either way, but if they switched the lenses on me, I'd at least like to know so I can apply for a refund of the higher cost. Notes: My Scrip: Right Eye : Sph -3.50, Left Eye : Sph -3.00, Cyl -1.00, Axis 177, everything else blank. Also, you might want to be careful with the frame measurements on goggles4u, as sometimes they'll have entered incorrect measurements. Usually, if the frame has their 360' view option, you can get a look at the actual measurements as printed on the frame itself. I don't really mind this, just giving a heads up. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Check us out at the oft-updated http://glassyeyes.blogspot.com!
