So, I couldn't resist last week's $20 off deal at 39dollarglasses.com. A couple months ago, I discovered this site and purchased three pairs of glasses online. I first ordered a pair of black acetate frames with adjustable nose pads from goggles4u.com (around $80). I decided to get the thinner 1.67 lenses (shouldn't have wasted the money). These are my least favorite pair of glasses. They seem crooked, and I haven't been able to adjust the nose pads to make them stay straight on my face. After wearing them for a while, my eyes seem to hurt. I don't hate them, they are OK to wear before going to bed.
The second pair I got was a pair of prescription sunglasses from Zenni. I think I only paid $15, and the frames and lenses seem perfect. I just stuck with their base lenses to see if I could handle the thickness. With the acetate frames, I don't even notice the thickness at all. Since I found that I could handle the thickness of standard lenses, I decided to try a pair from 39dollarglasses.com. Here's a link to the frames I picked (http://www.39dollarglasses.com/ 3572_BrownOrange.html). I love these glasses. The prescription feels great. The only gripe I have is that they have a 140mm temple length, and I really need more like a 135 or 130. I haven't had the guts to try and adjust them myself, but now I think I will. After seeing the $20 off sale last week, I decided to try another pair from 39dollarglasses.com. I settled on the Lioni frame (http://www. 39dollarglasses.com/3526_BlackCrystal.html) mainly because of the 135 temple length. I ordered them on July 20, and I got them in the mail yesterday (July 25). They are GREAT! They fit me perfectly, and again, the prescription is right on. They are almost the same shape as the first pair I bought from goggles4u.com, so I think I'll retire that pair. I'll take an $80 hit, not too bad. I would definitely recommend 39dollarglasses.com. Their standard lenses are thin enough to be mostly hidden by my acetate frames with my -7 prescription. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Check us out at the oft-updated http://glassyeyes.blogspot.com!
