I paid $52 for operscription "no line" bifocals with coating in a nice frame. They got here in about 3 weeks, fit perfectly and were supprisingly light. My old pair were safety glass and very heavy, these were plastic and very light. Quite satisified with them Steve   bcbrady Member Username: Bcbrady Post Number: 34 Registered: 06-2005 Posted From: 72.81.222.119 Posted on Wednesday, June 16, 2010 - 12:24 pm:    I bought a pair of glasses from Zenni Optical after reading about them here. I paid about $12 for a regular pair (nothing additional - no bifocal, extra coatings, etc. )and about $25 for prescription sunglasses. Both are just fine and I've received compliments on the glasses. I usually wear contact lenses so wasn't worried about having high quality/durable glasses. The down side is that you have to guess what will look good on you - I got lucky!   Jon Hewitt Member Username: Jhewitt Post Number: 29 Registered: 11-2005 Posted From: 98.232.168.176 Posted on Tuesday, June 15, 2010 - 02:53 am:    FYI, Mervin listed the email address to customer service, the website address is: http://www.med.navy.mil/sites/nostra/Pages/default.aspx   Jon Hewitt Member Username: Jhewitt Post Number: 28 Registered: 11-2005 Posted From: 98.232.168.176 Posted on Tuesday, June 15, 2010 - 02:47 am:    For those looking for online glasses the following website gives several reviews of different online companies. http://glassyeyes.blogspot.com/2006/11/retailer-reviews.html   John David Brooks Senior Member Username: Johnb6597 Post Number: 435 Registered: 04-2008 Posted From: 72.235.3.35 Posted on Monday, June 14, 2010 - 10:14 pm:    I also have a pair of NOSTRA's BCDs! :-) I only wear them in the dark. When I'm alone. lol Seriously, tho', they ain't bad as a pair of emergency glasses, especially since they cost nothing.   Mervin J LeBlanc Senior Member Username: Merv Post Number: 486 Registered: 01-2005 Posted From: 184.46.44.20 Posted on Monday, June 14, 2010 - 10:05 pm:    Dakota Ray - Don'T KNOW ABOUT THE REST OF THE GROUP, BUT I GET MY EYE GLASSES FROM NOSTRA, AM PLEASED WITH THE RESULTS, AND THE PRICE IS EXTREMELY REASONABLE - "FREE". THE WEB SITE IS NOSTRA-CustomerService@med.navy.mil. Give it a try, can't hurt.   John David Brooks Senior Member Username: Johnb6597 Post Number: 434 Registered: 04-2008 Posted From: 72.235.3.35 Posted on Monday, June 14, 2010 - 09:43 pm:    My first (and only) transaction with Zinni was a disappointment, but I've known others who used them and loved the result. They weren't very military-friendly when I used them.   John David Brooks Senior Member Username: Johnb6597 Post Number: 433 Registered: 04-2008 Posted From: 72.235.3.35 Posted on Monday, June 14, 2010 - 09:28 pm:    Greetings: I recently ordered a pair of Oakley polarized prescription sunglasses from their Federal government department at www.usstandardissue.com and was extremely pleased with the result. Paid $220 for them. That might seem high, until you discover that you can't touch the same frames and lenses at a commercial retailer for less than $450.   John D.

I thought that I ran a copy of the posts and I also thought that I "bookmarked" it. I can find any of that now. Someone posted a company that they ordered glasses through and they were pleased with the results. I do remember the price was extremely reasonable. Can someone furnish it here or send me a private email with the company and web site? Thanks in advance!!
