Prescription Sunglasses

I've recently have become interested in buying prescription sunglasses & was just wondering if anybody knew of any places online or in real life that they had a good experience with and/or sell them for cheap. If not, I'll probably go to my local Costco which has a good price but many styles at all. I'm fairly close to NYC if anybody has any recommendations there, I would love to hear them! Thanks!

PS I haven't been on these boards in awhile & couldn't find a search button! Sorry if there is already a post on here about prescriptions sunglasses, & please reply with a link!

I have a couple pairs from Warby Parker which I like.My brother has bought regular glasses and sun glasses from Zenni Optical.When you get your prescription be sure to have your eye Doctor give the actual measurements from pupil to pupil. Most Optometrist don't do this because they don't want you to buy your glasses cheap online. They want to sell you a pair for $300-$400.I was told THEY HAVE to write this on the prescription if you request it.Good Luck!

I use Zenni Optical, as well. My best pair comes from a different online company: Coast Contacts. They have huge sales--like first pair free with shipping or 20-50% off frames--all the time. Much better quality than Zenni Optical, but more expensive.

+1 for Zenni Optical. I'm an eyeglasses collector and have got dozens of glasses from Zenni. If you need sunglasses, I'd like to recommend Zenni's tinted sunglasses. You can choose from a variety of tint colors as well as the density of the tint.
