Find Zenni, find Zen

I can’t see anything without my glasses or contact lenses. I am serious, I am pretty close to legally blind. I was about nine when I got my first pair of glasses and the first time I went bowling after getting them I said “look, they put stripes on the bowling pins!”. Because of my prescription, eyeglasses have always been expensive for me. I’ve always thought it was awful what these optical stores and vision centers charge for a pair of glasses, any pair of glasses, even ugly ones.I recently learned about ZenniOptical.com. They manufacture and sell their own brand of frames, with prices starting at only $8. I looked for a catch and couldn’t find one. Their selection is huge. They offer inexpensive upgrades that the other places charge a small fortune for like photochromic lenses, anti reflective glare and sunglass tint. The anti scratch coating is free.Their shipping is a reasonable $4.95 no matter how many pair you order. What usually costs me about $100 I can now get from Zenni for under $20.

I always thought getting glasses for me was crazy expensive until we priced progressives for my husband. The lowest price we found was just over $250 at a local optical center. When I learned about Zenni I couldn’t believe that they could put together almost the same pair that we’d priced for my hubby for under $70!

ZenniOptical has been mentioned on the radio and on television, on shows like Fox News and The Clark Howard Show, because people just can’t believe how affordable their eyeglasses are. If you or someone in your family wears glasses you can’t afford not to check out Zenni, unless you like spending more than you need to.
