Baby Boomer Bargain: $39 for excellent prescription glasses with titanium frames

Cheap eyeglasses with titanium frames: here's proof: Is there such a thing as a "good deal"?  Prescription glasses at those stores that say "Get 2 pairs for $69.00" is a total deception; it doesn't cover tinting, UV protection, warranty. All you get is a cheap frame and two pieces of glass, and they have to be single vision. When you add up the 'options' the price is about $170.00 for ONE pair of glasses.

I ordered my prescription glasses from the glassesshop, and got them for about $48.00, which included shipping charges (I also had a 20% discount coupon, so the final price was $40). They fit better and are of a superior quality to any glasses I've bought at lenscrafters, costco, or the 'discount' place. They're made with titanium, have UV protection, tinting, warranty Mine need to be good since I'm a photographer.

A) You type in your prescription data (it's not rocket science--it's not even rocket art).
B) Try on any frame with the virtual face shape tool on the website.
C) All you need is a ruler to measure centimeters (distance between your pupils). It's the scale on the other side of inch scale.

You also get a hard eyeglass case, soft eyeglass case, and cleaning cloth. These glasses come directly from China. And if you are concerned about the trade disparity between U.S. and China, your purchase is not going to make a difference. 90% of eyeglass parts sold in the USA are from China. For skeptics, I'm exhibiting my order and eyeglass prescription. If you have a prescription, click on the image below and get started.
