Last year I got my first prescription for progressive lenses. I ordered a pair at my doctor's office and I went to BJ's Optical in Fairfax for my sunglasses. My doctor's office is very highly rated, but the glasses I got at BJ's were way better. They took a lot of time to make sure my measurements were exactly right. They gave me great advice on the frames I should choose. And they gave me way better information about how to properly take care of them.
I had planned to just get the sunglasses just for distance, but they logically pointed out that I would have to look at more things than distance with the sunglasses (GPS, gauges, etc.). That saved me from money on something that wouldn't have been nearly as useful as getting the progressives in the sunglasses too.
This year, when my prescription changed, I got regular glasses and sunglasses for about the same price I would have paid for one pair at the doctor's office. I wouldn't go anywhere else!! read more
