A New York Times article published on the 29th of January, 2009 about saving on eye care mentioned ZenniOptical.com as a good place to get the cheapest eyeglasses from. I think Zeni Optical deserves such mention because they really offer the most competitive prices for eyeglasses.
A lot of people say that we should never be stingy when it comes to eye care because we only get a pair eyes for the rest of our lives but spending around $500 or more on eyeglasses or contact lenses a year is just so grand and not all of us can dish out that much. Sometimes people postpone their eyeglasses’ upgrade to their new eye prescription because of the fact that they can’t afford it.
So for those of you who are not so lucky to get a perfect 20/20 vision, you can get your spectacles from Zenni Optical for better prices. The eyeglasses shown in the photo is my personal choice because of its classic design, its availability in different color, and believe it or not, it costs only 8$. That is to better illustrate how cheap specs are from Zenni Optical.
Also you have to know that when you purchase from Zenni Optical, you yourself will be the one to input the specifications of your eyeglasses. So once you get your prescription from your doctor, you can directly set your browsers to ZenniOptical.com and order your eyeglasses there.
Remember it is not about being stingy… it is about being pratical.
