ZenniOptical.com is at it Again! Save on Prescription Glasses
Everyone is having hard time making ends meet and if you are one of the lucky ones that get to worry about paying for expensive eyeglasses, then you are in luck with ZenniOptical.com. Glasses can become very expensive, especially if you want a specific brand or even a nice scratch resistant lens. Upwards of $400 is nothing out of the ordinary when it comes to paying for glasses and frames.
I have posted about ZenniOptical in the past and I will keep posting until more people see the reality of saving money on prescription glasses. Even our pal Clark Howard endorses this company. And if you do not know who he is, Clark is all about saving his listeners money.
As you can see by the image above, they have some nice styles on the site. Available in just about every color and frame style you can think of, as well as, some custom frames. I think the secret to the low prices is the fact that they sell their own frames right to the customer, no middleman! When I went through the process of picking my frames and the lenses that I wanted, I was still looking at getting new glasses for under $100.
When you are looking for your next pair of eyeglasses, don’t forget to check out ZenniOptical.com.
Save Money: Buy Glasses Online
I have been blessed with relatively decent eye insurance where I work. For a small fee they cover 100% of glasses OR contacts one time per exam year. I like that, but I cannot believe how much glasses can cost without that insurance.
I started looking online to see if there was any option to buy glasses online. Not just frames, lenses too. To me it would only make sense to get them both. Otherwise, you could just go to your nearest thrift shop, find a pair of vintage frames and have lenses put in them. My search was for frames AND lenses at a savings of 50% or more to be worth it.
Since I have poor vision in the distance I will be wearing glasses the rest of my life. So, why not save money at the same time? The first thing I did was search Google, like always, and I was surprised to find many web sites that sell glasses AND lenses online. With a quick skim of those sites I noticed that the ordering process and account setup was quite easy.
What you do need from your eye doctor is the prescription of your last eye exam, which they should send you on request and you might want an old pair of glasses to measure since you won’t be able to try on the pair you want to buy.
Once you have all of the information, take a look at 39dollarglasses.com and find a frame you like. The site works so nice and takes you to the next step in the process when you are ready. You can add many different types of lenses to your frames, too. The price ranging from no cost for regular lenses to $119 for the best of the best lenses they offer.
The frames and lenses that I chose brought me to a cost of $89.90. With an average cost of over $200, my cost to buy glasses online was easily a savings of 50% or more!
I am happy, now I have to place my order and wait until they arrive. I will post more once they do. Just another way to save a buck or MORE!
