Thank you all for your very helpful comments. My husbands eye doctor refused to include the PD because he wasn't buying glasses there - it's not mandatory here. We tried the optical at Walmart and were told the same thing. Hubby has a very wide face, large head so I suspect that's why the PD that I measured is so high - I've checked it several times. Decisions, decisions. I think with the price difference - $85.00 as compared to $350 - it's worth the risk of ordering a pair from Zenni's.
