I used one of those "Mail in your glasses to get prescription lenses put in them" services last year as I had more $ left in my FSA than would roll over in to this year. I did two pair - one set of aviators for lenses without mirror, and a set of more athletic glasses for lenses with blue mirror. The aviators came back great but I had a hell of a time with the mirrors. Took weeks of pestering them as to where my glasses were (think ECS-level frustration) and then they arrived with a couple of defects. Tinting wasn't consistent throughout the lens, mirror was okay but I was hoping for something closer to the OEM look (looks different in person than on their website), there's an optical distortion in the left lens. Thought about doing a return to "get it right" but with how long they took the first time I decided to just live with them - I don't use them for driving or anything, just hanging out in the back yard/on the beach/runs around the neighborhood.
This year I am going to do Smiths with authentic prescription lenses so that I know the mirror will come out well.
