Prescription eyeglasses are one of the last great rip offs, IF you are foolish enough to buy at a store.

Step 1: Shop around at local stores to find frame styles you like, there is usually a 4-digit code on the inside of designer frames.

Step 2: Go to eBay and find the frames. Don’t buy the cheapest, or the sketchiest. You can usually buy the frames at 1/2 to 1/3 of retail prices. YES they are authentic. I’m sure some are fakes, but they are easy to spot.

Step 3: Ship your new frames with the demo lenses to Wohl Optics. For $27 (with no special coatings) you will get your frames and perfect lenses shipped back to you in less than a week.

Total cost: ~$150

Enjoy.

No, I have nothing to gain from this, but I am impressed and satisfied with Wohl’s quality and quick turnaround. Even if they have a retarded link policy.
