For reference, here are my last pair of glasses-
And here are my new glasses! I like them! Whatcha y’all think?
Guess how much I forked over for these?
A whooping eight dollars!!!! That’s right! Only eight measly bucks, plus shipping, for a total of $12. I am thrilled with these and with their service. Whose service, you ask?
I got them from ZenniOptical.
I will be buying from them again- I’ll get sunglasses too. It’s only an extra $5 to have any of these tinted to turn them into sunglasses. Not bad at all! If you want to get glasses from there too, here’s some advice.
1- You will need to have an eye exam to get your prescription, and before you leave, don’t forget to swing by the optical section and have them use the funny camera gadget they press on your forehead to measure your pulipary distance- this isn’t on the prescription. I had to go back to the office, but they were real nice and quick about it. If you already have insurance that covers eye exams, great! No need to use the copay for glasses because you are getting them elsewhere.
2- Look thoroughly as you browse the website. I’ve discovered that they rotate styles. If you see a style you absolutely love, snap it up. I saw one that I really liked with butterflies on the rims, but those are gone and they have new different ones up.
3- Don’t just glance at the top page. If you like the shape of a pair, click on it- most of them come in an assortment of colors and patterns for the same style. I almost did not get the ones I have on now because I wasn’t sure I wanted blood red glasses, but I’m glad I clicked on it because it turns out the same style had three different colors to choose from and I went with brown/beige combo.
Other than that- go for it if you need glasses. At that price, why not have a few pairs you can rotate between- I am going to be getting another pair soon. I’m watching Zenni for new styles, maybe the butterfly glasses will come back.
