FramesDirect.com

I used Frames Direct for the first time last year as a sort of test run. I order a pair of backup glasses choosing a frame that I liked and matched my measurements. Everything went great and the glasses fit fine (which was my biggest worry at the time). 

This year I found out I needed new glasses when I went to the optometrist so I went ahead and ordered 2 new pairs through Frames Direct. My insurance covered only part of my order since it was 2 pairs so I wanted to make sure I got the best deal possible. One pair also needed to be progressive lenses which are not cheap to make. The other pair I ordered was prescription sun glasses but just for distance.

Both glasses fit well again though the one pair the color of the frames online I thought were black but in reality are a dark navy. Not a huge deal since they still look good when I wear them.

Got a pair of new frames and lenses from Frames Direct last week. It is the first time I have ordered from an online glasses retailer and it worked out well. Just grab your measurements from your last pair of glasses and do a search on Frames Direct for those exact measurements. They can be found under the "More Filter" options on the search page. All glasses can be adjusted somewhat but I find the bridge is most important.

They have good selection and prices so you should be able to find what you are looking for. I would also recommend not buying the cheap lenses. Get the good quality ones. On the last pair I bought at my Doctors I got the cheap lenses. They where very easy to scratch and the lenses where pretty thick.

Speed of shipping could improve as my order took 2 weeks for delivery. Not bad but if there is room for improvement it would be in this area.

Otherwise I had a really good experience. Frames Direct has great selection of frames and many brands. There was a lot of frames I like and it took me a while to figure out which one I should buy. I had to consult with my husband and family before my final choice.

If you have purchased glasses before that fit well, then buying online is not a problem as you just take the measurements from your old glasses and find frames in the right range for your new glasses. You can even search for frames by measurements.  All newer frames have measurements listed on the inside of one of the arms. Frames Direct has a great Glasses Size Guide located at the bottom of the page if you want more information on this.

The price and selection is very good at Framedirect.com for both regular eyeglasses and sunglasses. The site is very professional and has lots of help in selecting the right type of frames. The only thing that worried me was not being about to physically try on the glasses first.

One suggestion I have is that Framesdirect could put some sort of system in place where they could ship you a couple of frames and let you try them on and then return? This way you could make sure the size fits your face and that they look good on you.

I got lucky that my new sunglasses look good and fit my face well, but it they hadn't I would have returned them and wasted a pair of prescription lenses. 

I purchased my Oakley prescription sunglasses from Frames Direct. I picked the frame and color of lenses and am happy with the purchase. I had seen the frames before on other people (one of my friends have them) so I knew what I was buying and had tried them on before so I knew they fit well. 

The main reason I choose Frames Direct was the prices. The cost of the Oakley's with the lens was the cheapest I could find. Other online retailers came close but Frames Direct seem to have the best reviews with the least number of negative ones.
