Yes cheap progressives are bad, I was told the usual 10 to 15 days for my order from my medical group but I just got them today and I got fitted Tuesday.
Pretty fancy!I bought these guys for my regular rides a little expensive but since my lens wont need any coating or such the price should be close to the same. https://www.rudyprojectna.com/products/kelion
not when you look at the cost of having all the coatings and transitions added to the lens of a more normal pair. I was at the mall and got an idea on what lencrafters charged. I debated checking vision works but I doubt they would be much different. for the deluxe progressive lens and transition and grade coating was 950.00 were I paid 455 through my provider and they dont cover glasses. I guess I am taking my sunglasses inserts into them.Pretty fancy!![]()
unless you need progressive lens the cost is not too bad. I found the cheap places' progressives are not great but work. its worth paying for good lens though.I need new glasses. I had a perfect vision so far, and I had no reason to buy vision insurance, however cheap, offered by my employer. I am considering just paying for this myself, but with the caveat that I know nothing about getting it out of insurance. Would you recommend just walking in /take an appointment @ Costco eye section and asking them for an eye exam? I am not legally blind or anything -- so I can carry on till enrollment period and then sign up for vision insurance. So I can put this off. However if its just a few hundred dollars I might as well buy it myself.
I use RX from the VA and order from Zenni…but the GF is resisting Zenni…and raves about Costco…so I have another way to push into new glassesI have bought a few at Costco and it has saved me some money. The last time I got a new pair I had them take my old glasses, make them driving single prescription with a bronze photosensitive lenses. These really help my driving as the cut down on glare, are dark to begin with and darken more when needed.
For me being retired Military I can also get some through the VA at good pricing. Just don’t have all the fancy frames to choose from at the VA.
I use my RX from my optometrist at Wal Mart and then order from Zenni. I have been very pleased. When I told the employee of the optometrists office what I pay for a pair of progressive bifocals from Zenni, her jaw dropped!I use RX from the VA and order from Zenni…but the GF is resisting Zenni…and raves about Costco…so I have another way to push into new glasses
I have a couple of the cheap guys and high-quality lens and there is a difference. especially if you use transition lens so much better on better quality lens. the clarity on lens that costs 50.00 versus 350.00 is there. plus you cant get very good frames these guys are the most comfortable glasses I have ever worn. they never move even after a bike crash and if I need a new prescription I just order the lens and pop them in. or wrap around sports glasses great for wind and rain too.I use my RX from my optometrist at Wal Mart and then order from Zenni.
