If you are on a budget but need new eyeglasses, you are in luck. A friend recommended to me the Zenni Optical website for inexpensive eyeglasses. The prices at Zenni Optical are amazing. I can say from experience that the quality of Zenni Optical’s inexpensive eyeglasses is the same as the quality of the more expensive eyeglasses found at your local optical.
The prices for inexpensive eyeglasses at Zenni Optical start at $8.00 per pair! What do you get for only $8.00? A high quality stylish frame, thin and light 1.57 index lens, anti scratch coating, full UV protection, lens edge polishing and beveling, quality hard eyeglass case, microfiber lens cleaning cloth, and a full guarantee.” (This information was taken directly from the Zenni Optical website.) All orders are only $4.95 to ship, no matter how many pair of eyeglasses are bought.
Even if you wear bifocal or progressive lenses, Zenni Optical has inexpensive eyeglasses for you. Bifocal eyeglasses start at $25.00 per pair. Progressive eyeglasses start at $37.00 per pair.
Yes, Zenni Optical even offers the special add ons that you can get from your local optical. Photochromic lenses (the lenses that turn darker in the sunlight) are only $39.00 more. Anti reflective coating for the lenses is a mere $4.95, too.
The frame styles are numerous at Zenni Optical. I was able find many pairs of inexpensive eyeglasses frames in the $8.00 range and chose two. Most frames come in at least two or three colors. There are minimal frames, fashion frames, delicate frames and funky frames. You can find inexpensive eyeglasses frames to fit your every mood.
While buying inexpensive eyeglasses online at Zenni Optical is a convenient way to purchase them, you will need a prescription from your optometrist. That means you have to have a current eye exam. An eyeglasses prescription is valid for one year after your eye exam.
The information you will need to order inexpensive eyeglasses online at Zenni Optical is as follows: For your left (OS) and right (OD) eyes you will need to find from your eyeglasses prescription the SPH (sphere), CYL (cylinder), AXIS and ADD (add power). You will also need a very important piece of information that is often times left off of the eyeglasses prescription that your optometrist will write for you. The PD or pupillary distance is must have information. You can get this information by self-measurement, but it is better to ask your eye doctor to include this information on the prescription that he or she writes for you.
I have ordered received and worn my inexpensive eyeglasses from Zenni Optical for over a month now and have been pleased. They are lightweight and comfortable. They are exactly the style that they appeared to be on the website and I have been completely satisfied with the price, the ordering process, the product and my vision with my new glasses.
