We have great health insurance, so I use that to get one expensive pair of bifocals every couple of years. But I use zennioptical.com for reading and computer glasses. The reading glasses are simply the bottom part of my bifocal prescription. For computer glasses, I asked my ophthalmologist to give me a second prescription for a pair of glasses optimized for the typical distance from my eyes to my laptop screen (about 20”). I bought two pair of each prescription from Zenni Optical for $8 each. The whole order cost me less than $40, including shipping, for four pair of glasses. The frames are sturdy (with spring-loaded temples, no less); not particularly stylish but I wasn’t looking for style. And a lot cheaper than the drugstore cheaters, which I can’t use because of my astigmatism and because my eyes have very different vision.
