Did it for myself. Ordered online. Best glasses yet (I think mainly thanks to a my very patient optometrist.)

I measured by taking a picture of my face with a credit card for reference and measuring the pixels with the measuring tool in GIMP. (These were the actual instructions on the website I ordered my glasses from.)

Also worth mentioning I paid $40 ordering them online, in the article it says he paid $280!

Edit: Just found out they ship worldwide for €3.

I was amazed because until a friend told me about this site, I've been paying hundreds of euros just for the frames! At such a low cost, I could even order slight variations on the strength.

They have a lot of options for better lens material, have it darken in sunlight, anti glare coating etc, but I just got the cheapest one and it was fine.
