I wanted a pair of lightweight, flex titanium frames with Drivewear lenses at a good price. Very few online eyeglass vendors sell Drivewear, so I chose SimplyEyeglasses for that reason. I love my new glasses and the price was much cheaper than my local eye doctor would charge.
Here's the issues you need to be aware of, and if you are comfortable with this you can get great glasses on the cheap:
1. The photos on the website may not match what you are actually ordering. You need to make sure you verify the part number with the frame manufacturer's website that the photo is correct. If not, you could be in for a surprise. Forewarned is forearmed.
2. Longer time to deliver - once you order, SE goes out and then buys your frame. So the order to fulfillment cycle is slower. You have time from frame mfg to SE, SE then making your lenses (you can't start making lenses until you have the frame, then time from SE to you. This is about 3 weeks time. Here's the rub - in my case, the frame I ordered wasn't available, but I didn't know this until after I placed my order. So I lost another week in back and forths with SE in order to get a different frame ordered. SE is probably not the only online retailer doing this, but good to know.
3. Not a lot of feedback once you place your order. The website doesn't update you on the status of your order. Given the 3 week lead time, this can make you feel like your order is in a "black hole".
I'd still probably order from them again as they have a great price relative to other sites, just be prepared to wait a bit.
