I took a chance with a site called 39dollarglasses.com or similar. They had, for $39, the glasses that appeared to be the same as the $200 mall glasses. I figured it was worth a try. I'm very happy with them two months later.
The only difficulty I had was that the optometrist didn't put the distance between my eyes on the prescription. Interpupillary distance, they call it. So I asked my wife to carefully measure the distance between my pupils with a ruler. That worked fine, but when you get an exam it's probably easier to have the doctor write down the measurement for you.
