I have just booked Friday off work, partly because I can and partly because I have to use up my AL

Ooooooh.....I dunno, the wrath of Zan can be pretty wrathful....

Personally, I wouldn't buy glasses online (much the same as shoes or bras) since fit is so important, but then again that *is* quite a saving!

I bought a pair of rimless before, they were ok, but not amazing. only cost around £30 with lightweight lenses though.

My guess is that plastic frames will have less scope to be flimsy. The online shops seem to have a lot of frame measurements available, but I do require quite narrow frames.

Pout.

Ah, the old rugby ball eyes...

How are you with contacts?

I have some daily disposables, but find that my eyesight isn't quite there. Legally I'm ok to drive, but never quite felt right.

Dailies are much better than monthlies as my eyes tend to start to put a layer of protein down within minutes, must give them another try.

I am thinking it would only be worth your while if you could find exactly the same frames you had tried on in the shop and knew they wouldn't need a load of tweaking to sit comfortably.

It IS a great saving but if you have astigmatism and a wee head like me you really do run the risk of uncomfy glasses you can't see out of.

Bolder, plastic frames do rock though, I am so glad I made the change!

I'm going to shop round on Friday and see what offeres there are in the highstreet.

I do not wrath, I just look disappointed and disgusted. But then again, I will also probably fit your cheap internetty glasses cos I can't stand squint glasses. Do not blame me for your indecision lass.

I know but I was feeling guilty anyway ;o)
