I need new glasses - any recommendations on where to find a good selection of frames without going broke?

    I'm talking more about $300 frames for $200. Man, I miss my Oakland store.

    Any Lenscrafters at the mall. If you have AAA, you get a nice discount. About $50-75 dollars when it's all said and done for some nice, thin metal ones

    I recently bought a pair of $300 frames... but didn't want to get screwed over on the price of lenses like many places will do.

    After a bit of research, I decided to try an online site (eyeglasses.com) for my lenses. Saved myself over 100 bucks.

    it took a tad bit longer cause of the shipping time, but otherwise a good experience.

    I'd prolly do it again.

    What up O? Find a place that carry Toki eyewear. I wear ONLY Toki glasses. Titanium frames handmade in Japan with Pentax hi-index lenses. VERY well made, exceptional quality. Spending a lot of money on glasses is always a good look. It is not something you want to go cheap on.

    have you tried koreatown? im not sure if its the same over here but whenever anyone goes to korea they come back with a rainbow of frames from there cuz apparently theyre really cheap and stylish or something. i dont really wear my glasses and anyways i opted for the $20 copay joints from my insurance.

    I know Toki - good construction but I've never been that into their frame designs.

    Shig: K-Town is not a bad idea.
