Good point, Ira, although, to be fair, I didn't reveal where the frames (or lenses) came from.
BTW, I didn't know this about memory plastic. But, all this said, for the price, and the obviously accurate optics, I will probably order from Zenni again the next time I need -- or feel the yen for ! ;) -- a new pair of glasses. It would be nice if Zenni had a try-on feature, though. I chose a lens similar to the rimless one's I've been wearing, and those extra 2mm combined with a bowed frame and a slightly different shaped lens are rather wide on my face. Oh, well.
