A longtime favorite of mine has a deal for all of you.
If the 10% off isn't enough for you (and you're purchasing less than $100 worth of glasses -- see how the math works?), use this link for $10 Off Any Purchase! (discount applied at checkout)
This is a perfect opportunity to give them a try and get somewhere in the neighborhood of 25% off. Use your saving to pay for the FAAAASST SHIPPING!

We've heard this before, but it's always nice to get a refresher from a person in the know.
As a retired Minneapolis optician I can tell you first hand that we bought our lenses in bulk and most single vision lenses cost less than $2.00 a pair, Bifocals and progressives cost us as much as $6.00 a pair. Frames ..Name brand, up to $10.00, same quality generics cost us much less. Online is the way I buy all of my eyewear, New glasses in under two weeks!!
Even if you simply consider the lenses (throwing the frames out of the equation), you can see the screw-job.

Note: I'm working on a lengthier piece based on an email exchange I had with an optometrist last week. He had many points I'm trying to work through -- fairly.

I spent some time with John Ewoldt at the Star Tribune over the past week or so talking about this site and my experiences (and yours!) with the various online retailers. I think he did a nice job on it.
Oh, and look at the size of my EYES! I'm stunned.
