"Cheap eyeglasses" used to mean flimsy frames and blurry lenses. It doesn't have to. With us, $79 gets you a complete pair: a frame plus single vision prescription lenses made by one of the best labs in the country for quality, affordable eyeglasses, with free shipping.
What's included for $79
- A frame in your choice of color and size, for men, women or kids
- Single vision prescription lenses in standard CR-39 plastic, which has excellent optical clarity
- Lab work to cut and fit the lenses to your frame and your PD
- Free shipping to Michigan, Oregon, Montana and Delaware
- A 90-day frame warranty against manufacturing defects (details)
No membership, no surprise lens fee at checkout. Prescription safety glasses are $149.
Upgrades worth paying for
You don't need any upgrades, but a few are worth it for many people:
- Anti-glare (from +$35): cuts reflections from screens and headlights, and makes lenses look clearer in photos. It's the single upgrade that makes cheap eyeglasses look most expensive.
- Polycarbonate (+$15): thinner, lighter and impact-resistant. Great for kids and active wear.
- High-index 1.67 (+$45): the thinnest lens, worth it for strong prescriptions.
How to pick cheap eyeglasses that look expensive
- Go classic. Black, tortoise and crystal clear frames look polished and never date. Rectangle and round shapes are timeless.
- Try thin metal. Fine metal frames in gold or gunmetal read as refined.
- Get the size right. A frame that fits well looks more expensive than one that's too big or too small. Match the numbers inside your current frame.
- Match your face shape. Our face shape guide helps you narrow it down.
- Add anti-glare. Fewer reflections means people see your eyes, not your lenses.
Cheap price, real quality
Lenses are made to your prescription within standard optical tolerances. If the lab makes a mistake, we remake your glasses free (see our policy). And because our lab is fast, most single vision orders are made in one business day. Read more about fast eyeglasses.
