We recently took my 7 year old to get her eyes examined.  Her prescription changed drastically in a year.  We were told she has a rapidly changing prescription, and it can actually change as often as every three months.  What do you do when you want high quality glasses, but do not want to pay a fortune?  I turned to FinestGlasses.com.  This is a place that we have gotten prescription glasses from previously, and they are great.  Their lenses and frames are great, and they are super reasonable.
