I paid about $1,000. Frameless and lenseless with lifetime guarantee.
If you buy glasses online, how do you get them adjusted if they don't fit comfortably (too loose or too snug)?

I have figured out how to do it myself.
I measured her pupillary distance with my 6” dial caliper. A metric ruler will do just fine as well, not difficult.
Costco WOULD NOT just put my new lenses in my old frames. They said they were too "brittle" and the lab would not do it. I think this was just an excuse to have to buy a new pair of glasses with new lenses.

I went to ForEyes and the quote for two progressives (one regular, one sunglasses) was ridiculous IMO. So I told them no way, I'm going to Costco, and they said OK but come back and we'll beat their price. So I went to Costco and their price was about half what ForEyes had quoted, but the frame choices at Costco were awful (or I probably would have ordered from Costco). So I went back to ForEyes and they came very close to cutting their quote in half AND I got (much better) frames I much preferred. Why ForEyes plays games instead of showing you all their discounts while you're there is beyond me. However the service at ForEyes was FAR better than Costco optical. FWIWWe use Costco too. Still not cheap, but they do replace them if they get scratched.
