Sure - I'm trying to keep track of all of the details so I can post a useful review. This is my first attempt at ordering glasses online. I ordered from a few companies to try and compare the lenses and quality. When I first ordered, I didn't have a good grasp on the importance of glasses width and it's relation to the coke bottle effect. I'm reasonably sure that two pairs I got from Eyebuydirect will be too wide. One I ordered with the 1.74 high index lenses and the rest were 1.67 high index. I tried computing the thickness of the lenses and often the difference was less than 1 mm. That difference wasn't enough to justify the big price increase for the 1.74 lenses at eyebuydirect. However, Goggles4U has 1.71 high index glass lenses that are much less. The glasses I ordered from Goggles4U came to $55 versus the $119 (with free frames) from Eyebuydirect for the 1.74. I'll let you know what I find. Sadly, most of the glasses I ordered will arrive while I'm away for the holiday.
