I second what Chuck Knight wrote. Just make sure you have all the information from a recent eye exam ie. your full prescription before you order. Most of the problems I've heard about are from human error in the ordering phase and not from the lens grinding phase. Go to one of glassyeyes top rated choices and order with confidence! Especially if you have a simple prescription where a pair with lenses could be had for less than $40. When's the last time you bought frames for $40? If the lenses work out...all the better. If not, head off to the optometrist.
