The little place across from the Greenfield Giant Eagle on Murray
is excellent. I used a coupon from the green pages (or was it Donnelley?)
on top of a student discount.  It came to $85 or so for good wire frames
and lenses.  Recommended.  Good service, too.
[ Aha!  It's 20-20 Optical, 4203 Murray ]

Squirrel Hill Eyetique is not recommended (poorly ground lenses on
one pair).

Eye & Ear downtown is "the McDonald's of Eyewear" (in the words of a
departing employee).  I got contacts there, and they're cheap & OK
if you know what you want.  Wire frames are expensive there, though.
Their contact lens people aren't very competent, so be sure that *you*
are the one running the show.  First time contact lens wearers might
want to pick somewhere else.
