To get delivery for UK enter order as normal & when you get to address section just click on UK it will say Hong Kong Postage as this is where the orders are manufactured and they send direct to UK from there. only problems I have had has been delivery for straight forwards OK at 2-3 weeks from order but with more complex orders ie varifocal/progressive and reactalite/photochromatic has normally been 4-5 weeks but not too bad considering the prices zenni do deliver to the UK done 5 orders over the last 2 years, they charge a flat USD 9 for delivery for as many pairs as you order, last order was 9 pairs for friends & family.

My eyesite has apparently improved slightly in my right eye and stayed the same in the left. I'm told that can happen as you get older. I wish I had spent as little as you.

I just measured my pupillary distance in the mirror as best I could and then guessed from there knowing that the average was 34. http://lbweyeware.com/ I got mine online too and love them. $12 bucks y’all, and my prescription has even expired but I always feel so ripped off when I have to go every couple of years and there is no change of prescription.

What is the frame width? My head is very wide so I have to get them in excess of 140 mm. So, which glasses did you go with? What is the frame width?
