Best place for hi index glasses

[Anonymous]

I have a relatively high prescription (-8.00), and generally wear contacts; however I have an eye condition that makes contacts uncomfortable so I’m looking to transition to glasses. My Costco 1.67 index glasses aren’t cutting it. Any favorite places for relatively inexpensive glasses with high index lenses? Brick and mortar store preferred…

I have the same prescription, and i had to stop wearing contacts recently. I used See eyewear in georgetown for the 1.74 index. I have tried the online ordering with other brands and while those glasses are fine, i wouldn't wear them every day. They look and feel cheap.

Op here, thanks for the rec! I should have included my location in my original post (Rockville), though for good glasses I might end up traveling to Georgetown!

My Rx is around -10 and I also wear contacts nearly all the time, but I need glasses as a backup "just in case."

Check with For Eyes. I know it sounds crazy, but they had a high index. I liked the quality of the frame I had from them (better than from my eye doc's office). I switched to my eye doc due to having progressive lenses, but I really hated them (got dizzy, etc.)

My kid has high index from Zenni and they are pretty good. IIRC, they had a few options for lenses.

Might be a good option if you want to have an extra pair for a fraction of regular glasses.

WP is expensive for what you get. I'd just go with Zenni if you are buying online. Just as good and much cheaper.

No, they dont. They have 1.67, not 1.74.
