What do you think about companies that offer prescription glasses online?
What do you think about getting glasses from other countries?

This guy is a riot, the way he writes:http://financialsense.com/fsu/editori=
als/willie/2009/0102.html
=A0
financial stuff, most here will probably want to skip this link............=
..
=A0
Just a few excerpts (some emphasis is mine, some the authors):
=A0
"The iron rule of paper [money] is in the process of yielding to a new powe=
r.=A0 It will be dictated by foreigners, and will involve a new monetary sy=
stem linked to gold and silver just like before 1971 when the fatal schism =
occurred."
=A0
=A0
"The penalty suffered is a wrecked nation, and invetible lost soverignty.=
=A0 When foreigners own over half the national debt, and the USEconomy is i=
n tatters, and the US banking system is both dysfunctional and in falure mo=
de, FOREIGNERS HAVE THE RIGHT TO TAKE CONTROL.=A0 They will do so.=A0 The a=
rrogant will be swept aside as thoroughly as the billioinaires will be ruin=
ed..........=A0 RECEIVERSHIP COMMITTEES ARE BEING FORMED IN FOREIGN LANDS, =
but the must contend with military threats.=A0 Numerous bilateral trade agr=
eements are being hammered out, designed to circumvent the corrupt paper pr=
ice systems in US & UK control....."
=A0
(hmmmm, would that be the 5 different US colonies that Russian talked about=
 recently??????)
=A0
=A0
"On can actually argue that the entire USEconomy is a gigantic Ponzi Scheme=
, fueled by USTreasurys, now come unglued.=A0 In fact, with the Weimar-like=
 explosion of monetary infation has come more confusion....................=
"
=A0
=A0
"Despite all the hoopla of the USFed flooding the system with money, the au=
gust central bank is draining the private sector in order to subsidize Wall=
 Street in a final explosion of fraud, before the New [Obama] Administratio=
n.=A0 GIT WHILE THE GITTIN' IS GOOD!"
=A0
=A0
"The other phenomenom important in the process has been the informal order =
by the USFed not to lend............... a subscriber['s son can not get a l=
oan].... [t]he bank actually told him that land cannot be used as collatera=
l in loans, BY ORDER FROM THE USFED ITSELF."
=A0
=A0
"Banks are accumulating large amounts of funds, and not lending them to the=
 people.=A0 My conclusion is that the USFed and the Federal Reserve Banks t=
hemselves are orchestrating a collapse of sorts for the USEconomy.=A0 Their=
 purpose is unknown, but if the Great Depression Era is any teacher, this e=
lite group of banksters harbors great lust for consolidated power."

I need both..
I was really excited about getting glasses from a company called Zenni
Optical, but found out today that they can't make the lenses I need.  I
looked around the web and saw a few sites that sell frames and lenses,
but none can fill my prescription because I need the super hi index 1.67
with progressive bifocal lenses.  Most companies, if they even offer the
1.67 HI lens, offer it only in single vision lenses.  My prescription is
such that if I don't have the 1.67 or 1.71 or better, the lens is
THICKER than coke bottle glass.  In fact, the lenses in the glasses I
have on now are 1.67 and the lens is still 7mm thick. (These are
varilux)  The ONLY company I can find that offers the lenses I need is
this Indian company.  Their frame selection sucks, but looks are
secondary to price for me.
