Any preferences or any business to stay away from? I knew I was having problems seeing so had a eye exam. And of course I need glasses, just trying to get a few more years before I have to have cataract surgery a lens replacements. Thanks for any input.

After the surgery and new lenses , it is like a new pair of eyes . After you have it done ,you will kick your self in the ass for waiting .

I have used Zenni for about twelve years. Very satisfied with the price and quality.

How do you get them fitted/adjusted to your face/head?

I got mine from Zenni, too. Luckily they fit me perfectly right out of the box.
An eyeglass place will probably do the fitting - for a fee.

Cost? Convenience?
I buy glasses every few years ( i just wear in the evenings after popping out my contacts )
I’ve been happy with Sams Club.
Go to local Eye Dr for exam and prescription.

Got my Zenni's lSt week. I like them better than the new lenses I got from a local optician.
Zenni $164 for 1.74 index blue blocker lenses in new Titanium frames with clip on shades
Opician $340 for polycarbonate lenses in my existing frame
Never again.

You will need your PD distance when you order from Zenni. Your eye exam place should give you that if it isn't on your prescription sheet.

You can measure PD with a ruler (metric) and a mirror.

I get my eye exams and glasses at costco. It saves over half compared to the optometrist, plus they will do free adjustments anytime.

Zenni does a thing now where you hold a credit card up to your forehead in front of your camera and they compute it for you.

Myself and the wife has used Zenni for a few years now and we are very satisfied. Plus the cost for the quality you receive is justified! I can’t see myself using the box eyeglass stores.

I've used Zenni and it's great. Just sent them my script from my eye doctor and bingo, no sweat
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

Zenni and Eyebuy. Noticed Zenni has changed a lot in the last few years. Can't get 2 of the frames (wire) that I used to.

How do you get them fitted/adjusted to your face/head? They use the physical measurements from your old glasses to determine the size. You pick the shape. They have an online app to determine the distance between your pupils. It's pretty easy. I paid $328 for three pairs of glasses where the brick and mortar store was going to charge me $700 for two pairs. I got mine a Zenni. They will be getting all our business now.
