Eye care -- Pea Day, 13th of Meadow, Year 225

I went to my eye-doctor today, and he thinks it's time for me to get progressive, or at least separate glasses for reading/computer and distance. And while I do have frames that I could put new lenses is, I'm also concerned about price.

So, those of you who've used them ... recommend online eyeglass stores to me? I have a rather strong perscription, so it's got to be a store that can do that and sells high-refractive index lenses.

I use zenni and as long as you know or can measure your eyeball distance, it's awesome. (I went through three pair until I got the measurement correct, so a waste of money, but now it's awesome.) Frames as cheap as $9 and I have a prescription of around 7 in one eye 8 in the other, and I paid about $65 for my last pair of glasses, total.

If you upload a picture of your face you can virtually try on frames, too!

I used BonLook. They charged an extra $30 for my stronger than usual prescriptions, but I bought when it was a "buy one, get one half off" sale and that made them come out to about $109 for each instead of $139 each. They also had good customer service when I had an issue.
