Here's a postscript to my message of a few minutes ago: Want to report that I found Zenni's site working far better today (faster) than it had when I was on it repeatedly a few weeks ago. Also want to state that they had a distinct lack of options for wearers of bifocal and progressive lenses but I decided to just go ahead anyway. But while ordering, I realized they offer only the standard thickness/lens material in both of the above. In other words, you can get high-index only in the simple form of glasses.
Can't help noticing that we online glasses orderers wind up getting multiple pairs of glasses, hee hee. Doesn't that defeat the purpose of getting them so cheaply online? Oh, don't let me be a wise guy; I'll probably end up doing the same. On Jan 19, 9:55 am, Bullet875 <[email protected]> wrote: > I have also had wonderful luck with Zenni!
