Just a little contet:
I buy new glasses each year. I alternate which glasses I buy every other year: every day progressives with sunglass tint, and then work/computer (bifocal, larger target area) glasses. Each of my purchases from a normal ophthalmologist stocking all the usual brands cost >$1000 before insurance discounts kick in.
$555 for wearable glasses is less than half what I'm usually investing in. And with the strength of my prescriptions, I already look dorky enough.
- hiddencost 2y agoHave you looked into Zenni optical?
- WillPostForFood 2y agoAnd if Zenni is too expensive, Goggles4u.
- browningstreet 2y agoLate response, but: my head is huge. I need to try glasses on before I order them. And yes, I know about their stores in AZ. I’ve actually ordered from them in the past when I was poor(er), but it’s really hard for me to buy glasses (and shoes) from brand X, which offered a good fit last year won’t offer same fit next year. True for glasses and shoes.
- interestica 2y agoYah. My first reaction was “$555? That’s not bad compared to current glasses prices.” Especially when online retailers won’t sell certain prescriptions.

Yeah I make mine last several years, but I think the last pair I bought were $700-800 out of pocket after insurance paid for the exam and a couple of hundred towards it.
