Eye Care Associates has an awesome selection but I would hesitate to call them a good value. If you can find something you like at WalMart or one of the warehouse clubs, definitely go there.

For $65 here's what I got

titanium memory frames
Thinnest lenses they had
Anti-scratch coating
Anti-reflective coating

Lenscrafters is a rip-off.

Also, if you get them from this site, keep in mind they only polish the edges for rimless and half rim glasses. So make sure you let them know if you want them polished. It's not automatic.

Also, I ordered them on a Tuesday, and they were in my mailbox the next tuesday. I took them to an optician, and he measured the prescription and it was spot on. All you need to know is your eyeglass prescription and your PD (pupilary distance).

Since I couldn't try on the glasses, I went to lenscrafters and other places and tried some on that I liked, then wrote down the measurements on the inside edges of the glasses, then found the same ones online.

Another site I know of (but haven't tried out so no guarantees) is:
zennioptical.com

Hope that helps.

I'm going this route now...gonna swing by costco's optical dept for pupillary distance and order glasses online.

just google 'ordering glasses online'
