Besides Zinni Optical...

[Indy_Guy_77]

Any other low-cost "eyeglass" places out there?

Specifically, I'm looking for a sunglasses / safety glasses type of system that offers interchangeable lenses AND can accommodate a prescription insert.

Something along the lines of the Rudy Project stuff here: Rudy Project Sport Sunglasses, Helmets, Goggles and Rx Sunglasses Made in Italy Since 1985!

Any ideas?

Bolle makes them.

Check out Wiley X. They can accommodate an Rx and are ANSI and Mil Spec impact rated. I really like my XLs.

We do a lot of military prescriptions with Wiley X frames. Highly recommended.

I've looked at Bolle', Smith, Wiley X, Rudy Project, etc etc... Still can't find what I'm looking for (Gee, that sounds like a song?)

I might just go the route of buying 2-3 different ones from Zinni. And STILL be way under the price of the other folks.

Maybe you're too picky.

Maybe you're too picky.

Have you been talking to my wife?

And I guess it's not so much that those brands don't have what I want... But those brands certainly don't have what I want at a price I'm willing to pay.

Get contacts, ya wus! Then you can get whatever you want.

My fingers were not meant to touch my eyeball. Ever.

I honestly don't think I could do it. Gives me the heebie jeebies.

I always thought that too. I have worn glasses since I was four. Finally got tired of breaking them, fogging up, etc. Going to contacts is one of the best things I've done. Once you make the decision to go with contacts, putting them in becomes second nature.

I've had contacts since the 5th grade, I don't think I could go back to glasses. It's easier than you think once you do it for a while.

I have been wearing contacts since Jr. High. Putting them in and out is simple and fast. I hate wearing glasses -- fuzzy around the edges, distortion in every direction as I move around. Drives me crazy!

I do have a pair of regular glasses from Zinni that I wear in the evenings sometimes -- I wish I had gotten the thinner glass regular than the standard one.

I don't have any help for OP. I use Smith Optics Factors for my glasses and love them -- but I wear contacts so don't need to do anything with a prescription.

Wiley X is nowhere near the price of what you can get from Zenni, right? I thought the price I saw on a pair of Wiley X was $175. Is there some place I don't know about for cheap RX safety glasses?
