Where do you buy eyeglasses online ? There are plenty of choices but I want to know which one has the best value .

I heard many ppl recommended http://optical4less.com .
Are they trustable ? Anybody have experience with them ?

I wouldn't trust them. I don't buy anywhere that has a Santa after January.

Best answer: I have bought two pairs from optical4less with excellent results. I got one tinted the darkest grey and it serves as sunglasses (my prescription is only necessary when driving).
I recommend them, and the price is pretty good.

I love that he marked them, "Best Answer." What a schmuck.

The best answer is, do not trust the recommendations of strange men.

The only downside to this fine establishment is that your glasses come covered in lunch meat. Never could figure that one out...

I don't know about Satanism or Nazism, but I'm pretty sure it's run by at least one duplicitous, unethical shmuck.

Did anybody notice they've added a link to this thread on their home page? If going to their page doesn't make your monitor explode and the full wrath of Yahweh descend on your house look in the upper right corner.

That is Just. So. Tacky. Just . So . Tacky .

FWIW, that link represents the location of the link you followed to get there. Note that it changes if you click the link in the metatalk thread.

i made the same mistake at first.

Well, then they're obviously guilty of crappy web design and I wouldn't trust them to get my prescription right !

Thanks for the heads-up, dersins ( !)
