wow I generally have to get my glasses remade a few times with opticians in Canada. I am so worried that if I order them online they won't be perfect. I am very particular about my glasses and spend all day reading very small text on computers and phones and I hate it if the text appears fuzzy.

Wall-E, I faced the same problem as you. Everything has to fall in place, it has to be correct number given by doctor, the PD, and how well it is made.

I don't know . Over the years I have had numerous glasses made in India from different opticians by providing them the same PD and other details and they have all turned out to be performing same .

These websites educate and advise you how to check , confirm and specify the frame specifications ... The Diopters would obviously be prescribed so that remains constant .

Just a silly question (or should i say, "thought"?)


If I faxed in my eyeglass prescription, to an online optician firm, is there anyway I can make sure that the glasses they send, match the prescription I sent?

If I were to buy my glasses at an optical store, I could test them when I pick them up.

I have this question, because I have never ordered glasses online.

Any ideas?

Wow, I am really surprised that people can get eyeglasses made for less than $200. I have been trying for four years and different glasses both in Canada and in India but none of them have been perfect and so many times I have returned them (including to Lens Crafters/ Kanda opticals and even in Delhi). From cost point of view, none of them have costed me less that $400 (the cheapest was Delhi - about Rs13,500)

Or is it because I want progressive and non-reflective glasses? But the frames her are not less than $125 and none of the shops here are willing to fit new lenses in my existing frame which I like.

Anyone can direct me to a good shop - NO, I simply cannot do on-line thing. No insurance adjustment needed since my plan does not cover glasses. All I want is simple and workable progressive lenses (since otherwise I need three glasses - one for reading, another for computer at office and one for long distance)

Go To Next Optical in Malton. I am using progressive lenses in Good Frame. You will get them in 250-300 Range easily. Believe me, I am using them with progressive & coating since last 5 years
