How well are they ground? How about coatings (UV, anti-reflection, anti-scratch, etc)???

Just to add a data point, I'm 42 with atrocious eyesight (~20/2000 in one eye, 20/600 in the other -- I wish I could remember the diopter values, more accurate!) and my glasses usually run about $425/pair. I have one spare set. Can't have the surgery, my corneas are too thin to chance it. So I'd jump at a chance for cheaper spares -- I'd really be blind without them.

Must set a mental note to write down my glasses prescription and store it somewhere accessible...

The frames I got are springy and fit me fine, I did not need any adjustment.

The medium sized ones fit me the best.

I has Lasik 7 years ago, but my eyes changed. I have the lowest prescription you can get. Basically I use them for driving at night and at the range.

I got sunglasses also, and the darkest gray ones were good.

Remember it is 4.00 shipping per order, not each pair, so if you are going to order, do it all at once.

For $8 you cant beat it.

Who does the fittings for the glasses you order? I've worn glasses for years and they're annoying if not fitted correctly.

Great link!

My last pair of glasses cost $400...after insurance! I was worried about affording extras to put in the BOBs I think I'll order a couple pairs to add to my current one pair back up.

Cheers,
