We just got our order from Zenni Optical today. Matt is SUPER excited as his current glasses not only have masking tape across the middle, but a toothpick underneath to help stabilize them. I'm kind of sad he won't be wearing them anymore- they were always good for a laugh. (yes, that IS the kind of wife I am, poor man.)
I read about this site over a year ago on MoneySavingMom and there were tons of really positive reviews about it. I've heard some of these online glasses sites can be a bit shady, but with so many great experiences with this one, I figured it was worth a shot. I bookmarked the site and we finally ordered about 2 weeks ago.
They weren't the easiest site to navigate, but it is so worth it. A pair of glasses run at least a few hundred dollars. We paid $42, including shipping, for 4 pairs of glasses. $42! Crazy!
The glasses start at $8 and go up to around $30. There is the option of adding fancy extras, but we just did the no bells or whistles option and are just fine with them. Both of us have pretty bad eyesight but the lenses aren't too heavy or anything.
Couple of things:
- You do need your prescription to order. We just had our eye doctor write it down for us (11 months ago...)
- Shipping is a flat $5, no matter how many pairs you order.
- We got Matt 3 pairs in case he didn't like how one of them looked. For $8, it's completely worth it, especially when shipping doesn't cost any extra.
- If you currently own glasses you may want to use them to help decide on shape and size. We measured Matt's glasses to help choose his new ones.
- They have Men's, Women's, and Kid's frames to choose from.
We are both totally happy with the quality of these glasses. I would be thrilled to pay $42 for one of these pairs. They seem very sturdy and durable. Oh, and they're cute. What more is there to say?
I noticed Matt's glasses tonight, they look good. I've tried to order from this site but had a hard time, but then it's hard to order for someone else, especially when he gives you the wrong prescription information. Maybe I'll try again.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to remember this site for when Molly needs her next pair. Her last pair were $100 but that was with some sort of special they had going on.
