EXTRA! 101 vs. Other Budget-Friendly Eyeglasses
If you're shopping for affordable prescription eyeglasses under $100, the EXTRA! 101 at $79.95 sits in a competitive price range with several other quality options. Here's how it compares to similar frames in our collection.
EXTRA! 101 vs. Club Level CLD9142
The Club Level CLD9142 ($69.15) offers a similar full-rim plastic construction at a slightly lower price. Both frames are prescription-ready and built for everyday wear. The EXTRA! 101 has the advantage of offering two distinct size options (61mm and 63mm) and comes from the EXTRA! EXTRA! brand, which is manufactured by LTD Eyewear (formerly LBI), a family-owned designer and manufacturer with an established reputation. If you're looking to save about $10, the Club Level is worth considering, but the EXTRA! 101 provides more sizing flexibility and brand heritage.
EXTRA! 101 vs. Lenton & Rusby LR5011
At $51.88, the Lenton & Rusby LR5011 is the most budget-friendly option, saving you about $28 compared to the EXTRA! 101. Both are full-rim plastic frames that accept prescription lenses. The trade-off is that Lenton & Rusby is a less established brand with fewer customer reviews, so you're taking a bit more of a chance on fit and finish. If your budget is tight and you need functional frames, the LR5011 delivers. If you want a bit more confidence in sizing options and brand reliability, the EXTRA! 101 is worth the extra investment.
EXTRA! 101 vs. Genesis G4052
The Genesis G4052 ($57.69) splits the difference between the Lenton & Rusby and the EXTRA! 101. Genesis is a reliable brand that offers solid construction at a competitive price. The G4052 may have different style characteristics and sizing compared to the EXTRA! 101, so your choice will depend on which specific design appeals to you. Both are excellent values in the under-$80 range.
Why Choose the EXTRA! 101?
The EXTRA! 101 stands out for its clear sizing options (61mm and 63mm), established manufacturer (LTD Eyewear), and classic rectangle shape that flatters most face types. At $79.95, it's priced competitively while offering the confidence of a known brand and multiple size choices. The full-rim plastic construction is lightweight, durable, and compatible with all prescription types, including progressives. For customers who want reliable, no-nonsense eyeglasses without paying designer prices, the EXTRA! 101 hits the sweet spot of value and quality.
