Everyone is trying to pinch a penny and save on their expenses, especially my family. One of the ways we've saved is by purchasing our eyeglasses online through The cool thing about Zenni is you can just go get your eye exam (hopefully for free through a deal or coupon) and then get your written Rx for your eyeballs. Don't forget to ask the Dr to measure your PD (pupil distance) so you can order your glasses correctly. My favorite glasses for years have been the sunshade models with the magnetic attachment to your eyeglass frame. I don't need to carry a spare pair of sunglasses around for outside, just put on the sunshade. Love it!
One of the newest features of Zenni Optical is that you can upload a picture of yourself and try on all your favorite style eyeglasses. Just click and drag over to your photo on the sidebar and it shows what you would look like with those frames.
Anyway, if you need prescription eyeglasses you'll find that you end up buying 2 or 3 pair at Zenni Optical because they are so affordable. For single vision and lots of extras, mine usually cost less than $30.
Zenni has been around for years and they were recently mentioned in Time magazine the editor loves his glasses from Zenni. There was also a US soldier in Afghanistan that praises Zenni at http://blog.zennioptical.com/
You will too.
