The glasses are great quality, customer service is outstanding
The glasses are great quality, but the customer service is exceptional. When things weren’t quite right, they made it easy for me to get it corrected. Chantale is a true star and I am so appreciative for all she did.

Taking the time to get it right and seeing it come together—that’s exactly the kind of support we aim for. This means a lot, thank you.
Perfect glasses!
I just have to say that finding the perfect pair of glasses has never been easier! I loved my multi focal glasses so much that I just ordered a pair of polarized glasses too. Thank you for the super fast shipping and making ordering a perfect fitting pair of glasses so easy! I spent less on 2 pair of prescription glasses than I would normally spend 1 pair. I will be spreading my happiness with others.

I have used $39dollar glasses for many years and was always satisfied. I hadn't gotten new glasses for over 6 years and had to renew my driver's license and got an eye exam etc. Time to get new glasses. I first went to $39dollar glasses and was turned off to the lack of selection and high prices. I looked at many other new online glasses sites and got bombarded with $ offers and promo codes and out of stock emails etc.
Payne was a little different. They had great selection, service and price. I love my new glasses which are progressive lens and everything looks and feels great. 👍 I highly recommend Payne Glasses

The choices from Payne Glasses are colorful & fun!
I love to order from Payne Glasses! It’s so much cheaper for me not to use my insurance at an eye specialist’s office, but instead order from Payne where I can get more pairs of progressive glasses for the same amount I would’ve spent in the office with my insurance. And the fun colors I can get from Payne are so much better than the available colors in an office. Make sure & have all of the size dimensions for your face, and then you are good to go shopping. I check the website regularly to see what new colors & frames they have. So far, I have ordered 10 pairs of frames from Payne and still want to get more fun colors for my collection. Payne Glasses is awesome!

I ordered my glasses about 2 weeks ago and I loved the Try on feature. I had a little difficulty ordering because I guess I'm just getting older in age, but the online help and personal support helped me pick a pair of glasses I thought would look good on me. I love these glasses from the get-go I was able to just put them on as if I had had them for years. I absolutely love this site and will order from it again.
