It says "At least 1 KITS Glasses required in the cart.".
What does that mean?

Received my glasses a couple days ago and they are excellent.

I didn't upgrade lenses and the default ones have some anti-reflective coating on them anyway...

Silicone nose pads are a nice touch too - I usually have to swap out the nose pads on cheaper glasses.

Maybe you chose designer brand frames?

So much so that there was a recent study done that said they could actually be detrimental.

scientific knowledge is never reducible to a single isolated study. you have to look at the overall evidence.

as long as the blue light filter is good, it's not a hoax, it has been studied extensively.

but if you don't actually have sleeping issues related to light, or you can use a blue light filter at the software level, you don't need this. I'm only getting it because my Kindle Voyage doesn't have a built-in filter.

Added a pair of sunglasses to my cart and the total comes to $41.80 with shipping. What gives? FREEKITS only takes off $96 but the sunglasses are $123.

Am I missing something?

Anyone have any experiences with the sunglasses? Don't mind paying the extra to try them out, just wanna see if anyone else has grabbed them yet.

When people are getting blue light blocking coatings on their prescription glasses, they are typically getting them from things like eye strain, or eye issues, etc which is a hoax.

You are referring to avoiding blue night before bed as that may cause issues with melatonin and delay its production which can hinder sleep. So i think we were referring to two different scenarios.

My guess is this deal is very much along the same lines as the old "first pair free" promotion that clearly used to run before being bought by essilor

I am in the-5.00 range on both eyes. Which site would be cheapest for glasses for home use - zenni or kits? Clearly costs around 70$ shipped for basic glasses.

There's a little video from Marketplace about the so called blue light coating


Blue light can affect melatonin level but the blue AR coating won't help you with that.

Unless you have tinted amber glasses, I really doubt that coating does anything to block blue light
If you look at the sky and it looks blue...it aint filtering much.

My Kits glasses came in the mail yesterday. First time with Kits, but I've purchased many glasses from their competitors like Zenni and Goggles4U so here are my thoughts:
- frame quality is MUCH better
- shipped WAY faster
- overall a lot happier with these vs the others as they feel a lot more premium

My Zenni and Goggles4U glasses were in the price range of $7-18 USD. These were $24 usd only because I opted for the lense coating (highly recommend to avoid reflection). Even without that, for $10 USD they are fantastic and definitely worth the price. I have been using Zenni as my daily driver and these will replace those. Also, I purchased a pair of sunglasses from Clearly for about $35 CAD, and these beat the quality of those glasses as well.

I echo this sentiment. Just got my Kits glasses two days ago, having also used the likes of G4U, Clearly, etc in the past. I'm quite impressed with the frame quality for the price! The arms are even spring joints rather than just plastic hinges so they can open a little wider too. The arms were just a tad long, which I expected when I ordered, but a heat gun took care of that adjusted quite quickly for me :) I wish they'd offer more lens selections like G4U does though - I could only get the standard lenses (included free) or pay about $100 extra for really high index ones. With my prescription strength, I usually prefer a regular high index, something between "standard" and super-thin.

Never mind, I changed it once my account was created, but that's not to say their registration page wasn't done right.

I ordered from this site today, paid $81 with tax via PayPal.

Got myself a metal prescription frame, all the coatings (UV and Blue light). My current frame is from Costco and other brands are easy $300, so a steal for me.

I also learnt the parent company is LD Vision, the PayPal support directs it to them. On their site however, I didn’t find any information relating to kits.com.

They have shipped already, let’s see how they are in person. Excited for them.
