This board is not for d*** fool who are so cheap that they would by-bass professionals and order items that must be custom fitted over the internet. See message rules and move on.

David M. This question just skirts the posting guidelines, but I suggest you read through the forum and get a feel of the general opinion of Internet eyeglass providers. As to there are a lot of internet optical shops- just because something "is" doesn't mean it is competent.

David, this is a board for optical professionals and is not designed to answer lay people's questions.

Your doctor is correct, it is a crap shoot ordering progressives over the internet. I figure what the internet places do is put a frame on several people and mark where the progressives/bifocals should go and average it from there. If might be okay for you or it might not. The probably figure even if the glasses aren't perfect people ususally don't return them.

Best of luck to you. :)
