    I've just ordered again from www.optical4less.com I used them a couple of years ago and was happy with price & quality. I only wear for reading and it's a very simple prescription. They are in HK and take about two weeks in all to make and deliver. Last pair was US$39 + US$8 postage and they were the same price last week but I also ordered a cheap $15 pair and got free delivery for buying 2 pairs.
    I have lots of specs from Poundland scattered about the house but I like to have my "main" pair made to my exact prescription.

    i have recently used glasses2you.co.uk for reglazing my prescription lenses and sunglasses. i sent my frames by post and got it back in 10 days and their service was very very efficient.

  • Google glassyeyes. Ira has a blog which goes through many of the online specs companies and tells what is good and bad about them. He also gets quite a few exclusive deals from the manufacturers.
    I have used coastalcontacts several times and will definitely use them again.
