Haai Kyril, I think about a year ago I ordered my first pair of online glasses and contact lenses. It turned out that shopping online (instead of the highroad shop) could save me a rough $ 800. This made my a happy person. I have been a progressive wearer for years, so know what to look for.
I dont know why, but I ended up at the Coastal Contact, must be something about the design, layout and their product choice that suited me best I think. I ordered Progressives and because it was my first online purchase ( I live in Holland) and wanted to judge their quality / money I got the cheapest option the Thin 1.61 Index Free Form Lens. I have to say, apart from the super service CC offers (I have ordered more frames with them) They are grrrrrrrreat! The progressives work wonderful, no blurry bits, fields, lines, whatevers. The lenses have not a single scratch, considering I'm a bit of a active person and being it a Kham Dillon hingeless, rimless frame ( http://www.coastalcontacts.com/glasses/frames/kam-dhillon-3022-brown/prod23068.html) that is a miracle in itself. So after that I ordered nearly the same frame but with a higher priced free form progressive lens. They are of course thinner, but the sight through them is the same super quality. CC does have nice options, wait for offers on progressives and you could be happy too. Sorry, this became a rather long message. Good luck, curious what your further experience will be.
