Where can I get the cheapest eyeglasses?

Question

I am in a small town on the coast of BC and the glasses shop is exhorbitant. Intenet, Costco, what would you do for a good pair of prescription glasses in reasonable frames?

Answer 1

Zenni for sure, I just ordered 4 pairs of glasses (three of them sun glasses) for $54.

Answer 2

Buy them over the Internet! Only one problem if they are not made correctly you might have the problem of sending them back and forth until they are right. It might cost you more than you expected!

Answer 3

Just remember that you get what you pay for.  Those that said grocery store or walgreens didn't read that you wanted prescription lenses.  Online will be the cheapest, but they won't be fitted for you.  Costco is going to be pretty cheap for someone that will make and fit the glasses for you.  Remember, part of the markup on glasses is the fitting of the frames and such.  When going with internet retailers, they don't have to fit, but they also can't tell you if something isn't going to work very well either.  Also, if you need any sort of bifocals, stay away from online.  You're just asking for trouble.

Answer 4

Zennioptical.com is the cheapest, I believe.

There's also goggles4u.com and 39dollarglasses.com

Actually, here's a good website with reviews of all the glasses websites:

Answer 5

Walgreen's and if you don't have one in your town go online. You can find cheap, good looking glasses just about at any grocery or convenient store.
