"Adding prescription eyewear to the Overstock website, with great names at great prices, seemed a natural fit," states Overstock.com Chairman and CEO Patrick M.

Overstock.com customers can choose from a selection of trend-conscious, brand-name men's and women's eyewear frames.  Once added to the shopping cart, customers use a custom three-step tool at checkout to enter their prescription, choose lens type, and finally lens options. For help with any questions or problems, a service agent is available at the number provided on the screen.  The eyeglass component of the site is made possible through partnering with Canadian-based Coastal, one of the largest eyewear manufacturers and distributors in Canada and the U.S.

Shipping is free to all Overstock.com customers for orders of $50 or more. Shipping on orders less than $50 is only $2.95, regardless of how many items are ordered.
