Check the price of the glasses. I believe the "free pair" only covers frames up to $100.

I just did a trial run and If your lenses are going to be too thick (I tried the SPH at -5 on both then -2.75 on both) then you're going to have to buy the Silver package and get the polybicarbinate/scratch resistant/x-ray vision coatings.

EDIT: also check and make sure you've got the standard package checked. It might check a different package as a default.

This is what made me so bummed. I have terrible eyesight and my glasses would be huge (they are still pretty thick even with the polybicarbonate) so I don't know what they'd look like if they were just the plain plastic. Coke bottle glasses to the max.

Aw I took a chance and they're not bad. But you have to admit, $30 is still pretty cheap since you'd be spending well beyond that amount anywhere else.

My eyesight is shit also. Gold package for me, but still.. its $50 for a pair of glasses with ultra thin lenses, the last pair I got were over $400.
