Default New Glasses

So got my eye exam with prescription. Need progressive lenses. Didn't buy anything at the store. Any feedback or experience with stores or on line glasses for progressive glasses? Thanks

Been buying mine on line from Zenni for ever, always happy. Seem to be the most reasonable of the online companies and definitely a lot cheaper than stores.

I hate progressives. Unless you spend a lot you are far better off with bi-focals. I have wrestled with progressives for years, my reading prescription they said was +2.5. Finally got fed up told them to build me bi-focals with a +1.25 reading, best decision I ever made. Happy, happy, happy. There is a big difference between cheap progressives and expensive ones.

Recently changed glasses. With age I wanted more peripheral vision than progressives. Went to trifocals but am finding them a bit busy vertically. Peripheral is much better but will probably go to bi-vocals next time.
