I probably won't ever buy frames from the doctors office again after doing this. I got these frames for $10, and had my new prescription lenses put in by my eye doctor. Saved me about $200. They are light, but sturdy, which is ideal because my lenses are THICK. I love the distinctive look and feel and I get so many compliments on them, I kind of enjoy wearing glasses out side of my house again. The only con I have is that they hurt the bridge of my nose if I wear them all day. I would suggest low profile silicone nose pads for long term wear. I also need to get the bridge adjusted slightly, but all in all, I love these frames. Well worth it!
