It does sound silly to me, too. I can't guarantee this will work, but I thought of a way to get around their restriction, especially if they charge less if only one lens has a prescription. Order two of the same frame. One frame has the prescription only in the left eye, and the other frame has it only in the right eye. The other lens is "plano" (no prescription, all numbers zero). With an inexpensive jeweler's screwdriver (or even the screwdriver from an eyeglass repair kit from a dollar store), move the prescription lens from one frame to the other.
You have to buy an extra frame, but their frames are generally good quality and inexpensive, and then you'd have a spare. Some of Zenni's frames are the same except for color. Another method would involve two identical frames, one with an ADD of 2.50 in both lenses, and the other with an ADD of 3.00. (Or maybe do some combination adjustment with the main prescription, too.) Then swap lenses. This one they'll definitely do, but you'll end up with one pair with the wrong prescription. These options are fairly expensive if you're getting progressives. A third method is to split the difference and get both lenses with an ADD of 2.75. I'd recommend first experimenting with non-progressive lenses and an inexpensive frame. A fourth method is to get single vision reading glasses (by combining the main prescription with the ADD to produce the reading prescription), and/or just the main prescription without the ADD. A fifth method, assuming it's the frame you're mainly after, is to get the frame from Zenni and get it relensed somewhere else. The sixth method is to forget about Zenni! -- Check us out at the oft-updated http://glassyeyes.blogspot.com!
