I posted a few months ago about a sort of negative experience with Eyebuydirect. I have a high presecription(-8's) and had ordered some 1.74 high index glasses from them. I wasn't pleased with the lenses at all, they seemed very thick and also oddly tinted, but the prescription seemed pretty much okay, so I kept them for emergencies. However, I have to rave about the comparative quality of 39dollarglasses.com. Yeah, they do take a long time to fill your order. Yeah, their selection of frames is lacking. But I bought some frames I liked on ebay and sent them to 39dollarglassses. All in all it was a similar price, maybe a little more than eyebuydirect if you include the price of the frames I sent them. But wow! Great quality high index lenses! The frames I sent in were similar in size and shape to the ones I had chosen from eyebuydirect, but the lenses from 39dollarglasses were so much thinner and the prescription seems just right. Yes it took them about a month to ship the glasses back, but for the price it sure beats what I have gotten from the places at the mall. So I highly recommend 39dollarglasses!
