Not personally, but I know people who have and they are quite satisfied. The thing you have to get from your optometrist is the "pupillary distance" (PD), which is the distance between your pupils and tells the lens-maker where to set the Rx in the lens (so you get the most benefit from looking straight thru your lenses). Some eye Dr.s are reluctant to give out this info. Press for it - it's YOUR medical info, you have a right to know. -- HarmyBoard LifeStyles

[> I've never bought eyeglasses online - but when my son needed glasses the way I saved money was by buying inexpensive but fashionable sunglasses and having the lenses put in those frames - it was amazing how expensive prescription frames are - it saved us well over $100 -- chris k, 10:52:34 09/21/11 Wed [1]
