Pro: Descent prices and selection. Contacts in stock.

Cons: Will not put new lenses in glasses frames purchased at Costco if it is either purchased mire than 2 years (which is same valid time as a prescription) or the jab rejects the frame for any reason. What this mess is that your $300 frame you bought a Costco is only good for one prescription.

Conclusion: They force you to buy new glasses frame each time you get a new prescription. Your Rayban or Oakleys will be useless in 2 years.

Staff member was helpful, straightforward, asked if I wanted transition lenses (clear...read full review
