    My favorites glasses cost me 6 plus the anti reflective layer 4,95 and also opted for antioleophobic layer too another 5 bucks then shipping all it was 22 bucks on zenni, my first pairs ofcourse were from the recommended store by the doctor and they were 250$ and they even were worst quality than this cheap ones, since i knew this type of sites never been in a store anymore.

    $100 for plastic? that's nothing lol my 2nd pair of prescription glasses were $600 (they even came with a free case!) and they weren't even anything "fancy" like transition lenses. i was so glad when i found zenni because i knew i was getting hosed for my prescription lenses. i think people feel trapped because they don't realize you can use your prescription anywhere, it's not like a drug prescription, they're just angles of glass or whatever so you could even give a company someone else's prescription and they don't care, you still get your glasses.

The only upgrades I asked for were anti-reflective coating and polycarbonate lenses. I came home and ordered two pair from Zenni with better frames. My total, including shipping was $47.75. That included $4.95 shipping and a $5 off coupon. The glasses were $23.90 per pair. I could have bought 17 pair for $406.30, added $4.95 for shipping ($411.25 total) and had $15.75 left over from the $427.

    My entire experience with PG has been the worst customer service experience I have ever had. I have been in upper management and very aware of the importance of customer satisfaction, unfortunately, PG does not share that philosophy. I would guess the main concern a customer has about purchasing eyeglasses online is "what if there is a problem", will there be a hassle in getting an exchange/refund? I ordered a pair of glasses for my husband ( total was $94), and after doing so realized I had not selected his "saved" prescription, but my own. This was on a Friday night. I immediately called the following day (Saturday) and was told the order was being processed in the lab (which I did not believe). After explaining my issue to the representative she did say they would issue a "one time 100% store exchange". Great, I thought, as I did not wish to have a refund. I ended up selecting a better fitting frame for my husband, which was less expensive. Because the representative stated there was a 100% store exchange, I proceeded to select a pair of prescription sunglasses as well. The revised order came out to $104 (more than the original order). In my next conversation with the representative, I specifically asked if the credit could be used for "additional items", which she replied "yes". After giving her my replacement glasses info as well as the other product info., she then tells me the 100% store exchange can only be used for one pair of glasses and if I selected a replacement pair that was less, I would forfeit the remaining credit???? WHAT??? I challenged her on the policy as it made no sense. since I did not want a refund but only to use my full credit. Rather than explain the purpose of the policy, she continued to repeat, "I'm sorry, but this is our policy" She could have cared less that about customer satisfaction, so I asked to speak with a supervisor, at which point she indicated she was the supervisor (obviously not a properly trained one, because after reviewing the return policy of PG, nowhere does it state only one pair of glasses could be used in an exchange situation. In fact, it says the exact opposite (100% Store Exchange). I have written a letter to someone in a higher position and we'll have to wait to see what happens. I advise anyone who wishes to purchase eyeglasses online, stay far away from PG. I ended up using EyeBuyDirect for a pair of glasses for my daughter and received excellent customer service.

I am beyond impressed with both of those and I wear the clear Zenni Optical ones literally every day as my main glasses - they have held up wonderfully. The only thing that bothers me is the hinge on one of the arms is a bit loose. They came that way, but it has gotten a little worse over time.

(Sun kills me) My 1st pair was from Walmart because my old pair broke. (I was thinking I could get my glasses in 2hrs) Not! Progressive glasses take a few weeks. Those cost me $600 and I found the cheapest frames. They scratched very easily also using their cleaning cloths. My current pair is from 39dollarglasses & I love them. These cost me $289 I just ordered another pair as a back up or maybe use my current pair as a back up pair from Eyebuydirect & I got those for $95! Out the door w/ a 30% discount code! That's the cheapest "Munroe" style Transition, Progressive glasses I've ever bought! I'm hoping they are good.. 🤟

    Hey Rachel, If this is your first pair of glasses or your first pair with a new prescription, you may just have to get used to it. If this is a prescription you're used to already, it looks like you may have entered the pupillary distance wrong, or maybe you entered your prescription wrong. If you are sure you entered it right, you may want to get new measurements made with your optometrist. I'm not really sure, but that shouldn't happen! Reach out to their support and they should take care of it. I hope that helps!

  • @JayeK47

    @JayeK47

    4 жыл бұрын

    It's most likely the frames but not a defect per se. They probably have too much pantoscopic tilt for your prescription. That's the angle of the lens in relation to the eye - or if you prefer, the angle of the front of the frame in relation to the arms. If there is too much pantoscopic tilt in the frames, then when you look straight ahead you're effectively looking through a different prescription. This is useful in glasses for farsightedness and presbyopia, where you're looking down most of the time like at a desk or newspaper but not so much for nearsightedness. In the old round wire frames, pantoscopic tilt is nearly infinitely adjustable, with bar wire metal frames, it can be adjusted a little bit and not at all in plastic frames. If you wear bifocals, the pantoscopic tilt can be set for the ADD prescription portion and calculations done to correct the prescription for the distance vision portion. Normal glasses will have about 7-8 degrees of pantoscopic tilt but it can be up to double that in certain frames.

    It’s not just plastic it takes about 4 days to make them they have to design them so they refract light into your eyes correctly-_- and they have to cure and the machines that they use to make them are u guessed expensive try having an eye thing where your eye muscles don’t relax (as in you can’t focus) and what I have is called fractal hyperopia (:

    Interesting! I've never put much thought into the anti-glare coating. Perhaps it is inferior to what eye doctors give you. I've been wearing my Zenni glasses for so long now that I don't notice it.

    Enjoyed watching your video, it was very informative. I bought a pair of glasses from Eyebuy Direct and I wasn't happy with the glasses nor the lenses that I picked out. I wanted to like them so much, but the lenses I purchased didn't transition like they were suppose to, they did transition but not as sark as they should have transitioned. They should have transitioned into sunglasses when I went outdoors, instead they only transitioned to a shade darker than what they originally were. My brother took pictures of me outside in the sun -my eyes were very visible through the lenses- and the lenses went 1 shade to a very light tint. Needless to say I will not buy another pair from Eyebuy Direct.

    Sunglasses all the way, but I'm going for style over functionality. I think transition lenses are more convenient, but I've always thought they look nerdy and you can't enjoy styles like mirrorized lenses or polarized lenses. I've always had separate prescription sunglasses.

    That's a good question. Honestly, I don't think you can be that precise, but I have not been in that situation. My prescription is -1.25, and I didn't know prescriptions were prescribed in those increments like yours. I might try "close enough" at -4.5, and if you aren't happy with how it turns out, return the glasses (if you buy from EyeBuyDirect or a site with a good return policy) and stick to your eye doctor.

    There is a lack of competition in this area, this leads to high pricing. I have no quarrel with that line of thought.
