I have always had some sort of complications with opticians when getting my glasses for prices in excess of $600. I'm 19 and have so far experienced: left and right lenses being swapped, concentric rings in my lens, messed up AR coating (or something to that extent), incorrectly read prescriptions, etc. I'm not very lucky...
That being said, I want to buy my glasses online, it's more convenient, no hassle of dealing with annoying people and it's cheap. My prescription: -5.00 -1.50 005 -6.00 -1.50 015 I don't have my PD measurement, but I'm thinking I will go to my optometrist and get that. When I got my prescription, with one of my eyes I felt that the updated prescription did not feel any better... I don't want to get new glasses and find out my prescription was wrong... My questions: I live in Canada, do all the online retailers ship to Canada? Which do you suggest? I'm okay paying higher prices if the quality is noticable, and I want my first experience buying glasses online to be a good one considering my history... When the option is given, should I use high index lenses for my prescription? I was looking at Zenni I believe, and there's three levels offered... 1.57, 1.61 and 1.64 with incrementing prices. The photochromic lenses are mutually exclusive with the high index lenses. Currently I have photochromic lenses, and find them to be a bit of a nuisance, maybe it's just more bad luck though... I guess I could always get two pairs... not sure. It may be off topic but what are your thoughts on contact lenses? I don't do any contact sports, but are there benefits to them?
