Thank you, Zsa, for posting about glasses. Without that post, notamrs wouldn't have posted about Zenni Optical, and I would be out a couple of hundred bucks unnecessarily.
Just used $100 of my vision benefit on 6m worth of contacts and will be picking a pair or two on Zenni tonight.
Pearle was freakishly cooperative, happily handing over my prescription, PD, and even the exact specifications of the frames I had originally chosen there (

I'm so excited! I just hope they work!
