Really good prices here. Clark Howard recommends them. I haven't ordered from them, but I will at some point.

If buying prescription glases you should check where they are getting the lenses ground. Some countries do a pretty shoddy job and you will get an approximate for your prescription. Thailand comes to mind as one source for lenses.

I think it is quite the racket that you need to have a prescription from a DR to buy prescription lenses, even if you know your prescription. Its not like glasses are addicting, harmful, have side effects with other drugs. Quite a lot of BS. Just went through this with my wife (I don't have glasses/contacts). It is a load if you ask me.

I want glasses with real Iolite lenses. Iolite is a semi-precious blue stone that was used by the vikings to see through the clouds. On a cloudy day, with iolite, you can see the sun even if it is behind clouds.


In our F'ed up modern world, "Iolite" is a color and not a stone. Searching for "Real Iolite Lenses" returns a bunch of hits with blue colored glass and nothing more.
