I found Glassy Eyes, like you, about a year ago I think. With prices for glasses the way they stood, I had to find something else. It’s just way too expensive to buy from a standard seller. After much research, I took the plunge and am very happy for my decision. Clark Howard is a nationally known consumer advocate, and I contacted him about his thoughts for online eye glass purchases. Not only did he look into it, but a reporter (a friend and co-worker of his) did an investigative report about the quality of discount online glasses vs. expensive brands and the conclusion was of course that the quality was the same. You can read about it here: http://clarkhoward.com/shownotes/2007/11/09/ (second entry down). This is absolute proof that it saves a lot of money if you purchase them online.
