I’ve posted about this way back when on a Lifehacker article in which I mentioned that you can get really cheap glasses online.
I now not only have proof of this, but I also have the site that will send you them!
I heard from a friend of mine that about this site that sells eyeglasses starting @ $8.00 for frames and single vision lenses.
Shipping to Canada is $6.95 US for your total order. She also told me that one of her friend has purchased 13 pairs and never had a problem with any of them.
Basically in order to purchase glasses online, all you really need is your prescription, and just like any prescription, you’re legally entitled to it! So get it from your doctor, and find your identical frames and lenses online and save like 90%!
pretty close to the ones I bought
The frames above are are ones that are close to the ones I purchased here, yet I got two pairs for a LOT more than $30 USD!
Anyhow what can I say, got kids whom need new glasses? Want to change your look? Now that the dollar is at $1.08 USD, that’s a pretty good savings right there! (Feel free to donate some to me since you of course wouldn’t have heard about this otherwise 
)
Glasses took about 8 days from ordering to arrived on my front step. Everything is exactly as ordered. Prescription is the same as my $400 pair.
no WAY! I can't wait to check em out.. that's un-frickin believable.
