This may not appeal to everyone, but I just saved a couple hundred dollars on eyeglasses by buying online. I spend so much time at the computer that I decided to buy a pair of computer glasses. I also like to watch TV from a reclining position and have been wanting a pair for that (so I don't need to look over the top of my my bifocals). Since they aren't glasses for all-day use, I didn't want to spend much. I paid $39 each (no tax and free shipping if you buy two pair) and got them here:

They work great and I can't tell any difference from other glasses I've paid far more for. There is a real difference at the computer. They come with the thin lenses and UV/scratch protection.
Then I found another place I could have obtained the above two pair of glasses for less, and ordered a pair of bifocals from there. Those haven't arrived yet, but I got a pair of stainless steel frames, the thin lenses, scratch/UV/anti-reflection, and bifocals for $60.85 total. We'll see how they turn out. Here's where I got those:

So for what it's worth, it may be a way to save a few bucks without sacrificing much.
