Hi, I found this website about a year ago, but finally decided to try ordering my glasses online.
After reviewing the websites of several companies, I decided on 39dollarglasses. Note: I was interested in glasses from CoastalContacts, but they didn't have all the relevant frame size information on their website; I emailed customer service, but they were not able to provide the measurements for the frames I wanted (they said they had measurements for other frames). My prescription is -8.5, -1 CYL, 32 Axis (left), and -9.0, -1 CYL, 150 Axis (right), with a PD of 67. I compared the prices of 1.67 vs 1.74 high index lenses, and basically the 1.74 came out a bit cheaper and didn't need any extra "processing" (I forget now what the website said), so I went with 1.74. Total cost was $128.95 (frames were $19.50, and lenses were $109.45), but with a discount, the price came down to $116.06. As a comparison, last year I ordered from my optometrist, and I paid $302.40 for re-lensing ONLY [I reused my frames]. Pretty shocking that I paid only $116.06 for frames AND lenses at 39dollarglasses. I ordered on Nov 8, and received my glasses on Nov 16. The glasses seem to match my prescription, though I'll wear them for a few days to see how that goes, and might even go to WalMart to have them double-check just to be sure. The real test will be using them as I work during the day (on a computer). If all goes well, then I'll order a pair of prescription sunglasses.
