Photochromic,Transitions,Glass ,Plastic .I dont want heavy glass and one that change CLEAREST indoor and VERY DARK outside.WHich is best. Do they already have UV protection, ANTI-glare protection and scratch protection or do you pay extra for each protection. Can anyone simplfy this and help me get whay IM looking for and not pay extra for features that are already on the lens. Also what is CRISAN.
At this time, Transitions is the best you can get...gets to 87% sunglass tint in 37 seconds. Also will go 98% clear indoors. Transitions has built in UV protection and is scratch coated. Anti-reflective coating is optional.
I think the "crisan" you're talking about is "Crizal", which is a brand of anti-reflective coating. Very good coating, gives you a two year scratch guarantee.
If anybody charges you for UV or scratch protection on Transitions lenses, run, don't walk out of the place. Transitions is sold as is. Only pay for the anti-reflective coat, if you want it.

Really high quality stylish frames and superior optics? Who's the best in the business?
That is a very difficult question because every name brand company has good frames, and they also have some dogs.
Even D&G , has some models that aren't as good as others they have.
Gant, Guess, and any other name you can think of all have some excellent quality frames, but they all have some in their collections that aren't as good.
Optics are different, there are several manufacturers such as Zeiss, Rodenstock, Nikon, Sola, Seiko, and others who all make excellent products.
I don't think any one brand, either in frames, or in lenses can be said to be the " best " all the time.
The frames come from different places than the lenses do , so you won't find one manufacturer who is tops in both.
There are so many brands of eyeglass lenses: super famous ones, average ones, and no brand. Does it really make a difference?
If the brand DOES make a difference, which brands have the best quality/price ratio?
Without a doubt.
Ever take pictures with a disposable camera? What about a point and shoot camera? Now, what about with a professional camera? If you haven't... maybe you can visualize the quality of each of the pictures that would results from those lenses. Now translate that to the lenses that will sit in front of your eyes.
Branded lenses are generally a good thing because they have earned their name for the reputation of the quality of their product. Eyeglass lenses are no different. You want the best optics for which you will be viewing the world.

I need to replace the lenses in an old pair of glasses but cannot afford to pay Lenscrafter/Pearl Vision prices. Has anyone used an online site to replace their eyeglass lenses before?
Yep. The site is www.optical4less.com
I've been using their services for quite a while now. Been buying glasses and replacing lenses without a problem. I must say Optical4less is the smoothest and cheapest online store out there. I trust them 100% as I've been using them for so long already and you should too. Their quality is also excellent. I highly recommend them for this task. Just contact them if you aren't quite sure where to navigate on the site. They have impeccable customer support as well. You won't be disappointed. Good luck.
I need new lenses, but can't afford new frames now and love my current pair. Do the eyeglass places let you hold onto the frames, or do they have some creative way of scamming you into an expensive new pair of frames?
you can keep the frames and just get new lenses, however some places will only replace lenses in frames that *they* originally sold you....i'd go back to the same place you got them, or shop around - don't let anyone scam ya!
