Default Buying spectacles online
Has anybody any experience of this? Any recommended websites?

I'm after a new pair of Oakley frames with the thinnest photochromic lenses for a change.

you really do have to try them on though, as ones that look similar can either look good on your face or completely not fit.

Id probably order the frames if I could get a good deal, but I would always want an opticians to check my eyes over first before getting any lenses.
