massive head syndrome. I looked on the site and it looks like all the frames are relatively small/narrow.

Good idea for regular head-size guys, though.

Which this offer of home try on is a huge plus. I sent them my measurements and they suggested a few frames. I told them if they shoot off of my face I'll send them back

I felt like a weeble wobble when I was a kid since I was "top heavy" and lanky I just swayed back and forth.

How do they have you measure Pupillary Distance?

How do they have you measure pupiPupillary Distance?

I went to my eye center I get my contacts and told them I was interested in getting glasses and of course there were no frames that would fit. So I asked them if they can get my measurements and then after they told me how much it was going to be to order the frames I said it was too much money. I walked out with my prescription and measurements. Im not paying $289 after my insurance already picked up $175. Rip off.

I wish I would have seen this before I dropped $400 on a new pair of glasses.

You can get it for free from any optician, usually. Just walk into an eyeglass world or wherever and ask.

Whenever I buy glasses, there is some tweaking required to get a good fit (one ear is slightly lower than the other, fit behind the ear, etc., etc.). How do you get a proper fit? Will opticians fit glasses that they did not sell you?

I think so, though there's probably a small fee involved. Call around, I suppose. I should be able to handle my own, but my head's pretty symmetrical.

Shuron is an old school company that also provides try-at-home-before-buying. I think you have to pay a deposit. They have amazing customer service; I wish they had glasses that complemented my face better.

Very throwback in style. Neat!

I bought a pair of glasses from Zennioptical.com. Price was right but when they arrived they just seemed a bit to small, I really like this idea and will give it a try.

Very interesting. Last pair of glasses I got was also over $500 and I could really use a new pair but don't have that kind of cash. The home try on sounds cool. I'm going to look into it.

It's funny, because you can buy many of the ORIGINALs for pretty close to their prices, s'long as you avoid the Luxottica cartel.

I read the article in GQ and got very interested in Warby Parker.

Unfortuneatly when I went to their site It said that they dont ship to Canada!

Does anyone know if this is 100% true? If so any idea of other mail order services that deliver a quality product to Canada? I love the idea of trying on the frames before making my final decsion.

Any help would be great.

Thanks!

Just received my pair. VERY nice worksmanship. Did a great job with the lenses, too - which is great, since I have a pretty powerful prescription. Will post pics later if I get a second.
