So I was going to order my Flak 2.0 Prizm Road RX glasses at Lenscrafters and after waiting almost an hour, the sales rep says she can't order them. My RX is so large that I can only use the "standard" lenses, and their system only shows they sell Flak 2.0 XL. I tried to explain to her that the frames were identical and that a lab would just make custom lenses so she should be able to sell me ANY Flak 2.0 frame, and the lab will make standard lenses.
She had no clue what I was talking about and said since they don't have "standard" Flak 2.0 glasses in their system she couldn't sell them to me. I just left and figured I'd order them elsewhere where the staff had a brain.
So I can order online - but I have to bill VSP on my own and get reimbursed.
Did any of you go with online sellers like sportRX or Framesdirect?
It looks like I may have more options for frame color if I go with an online seller. LensCrafters had only a few colors I could choose from. If I go online I think I have more choices.
I am debating between just getting black frames with the Prizm Road lens. OR getting that cool black/red color combo called red/ink... it kind of looks cool with the Prizm road lenses. not sure what color to get.
I may also wear these as daily sunglasses and *could* at some point get a second set of lenses..maybe a snow pit or daily wear that is just black.... depends on how cheap I can get RX lenses for the frames.
any suggestions on where to get the best deal on these things? I have an FSA account I am using to pay for it, but if I can get VSP to pay for some of it - that just leaves more flex spending money for other medical things.
Thanks everyone!
