    Default My Wife needs new Eye Glasses

    My wife needs new glasses and cost is a factor. Does anyone in the NorCO Ft. Collins area have any suggestions or recommendations as to a good place to go for the best value?

    Americas Best Contacts and Eyeglasses. My wife goes there and says it's the cheapest she has found.
    The lenses are the cheap part compared to the frames that is where people end up spending a lot of money.

    Skip on anti scratch, thinner material, etc. all of those "enhancements" add up. Reuse old frames

    Do you have a Sams or Costco membership?

    I got mine at Walmart last year and was pleasantly surprised at the quality and cost.

    If they're not bifocals, I'm wondering if purchasing them online might not be an option? Once she gets her glasses prescription, check out GlassesUSA. Visionworks also has decent sales, as does America's Best.

    Got my last pair of glasses from Coastal Contacts online and they were a great deal.

    The places online are pretty cheap. I had a coworked who had new glasses all the time, the glasses were costing her around $40 delivered via online orders. Check it out as it might be a great way to go.
