        Yep! You just get a prescription from the eye doctor and enter the values on the site. 20 bucks later and boom you have some very reliable and inexpensive glasses. I’ve been using these guys for years and had basically zero issues.

        I got a pair of prescription glasses and sun glasses from Payne glasses for $80. I stopped wearing contacts a few years ago, and I work outside. I really missed having sun glasses.

          It’s not usually but you can print out the little gauge thing or use their in browser tool if you have a Webcam and don’t mind your face being scanned by a discount glasses company in the decade of machine learning we’re about to go through

        Yep. I used them after I got new lenses. My eye doc gave me all the numbers I needed to enter.

      From what I remember, $20 gets you a premium pair! I was getting glasses from Zenni and others for <$10.

      If the daughter is looking at Lasik, it’s not out of necessity.
