My eyesight is AWFUL. Since the third grade I've worn glasses. In 8th grade I finally bought contacts and have worn them since. After that point glasses were a luxury and not really a necessity. I'd wear them every once in a while in the evenings and when I ran out of contacts and forgot to buy new.
I've had a pair of glasses since fall of my senior year of college...2003. Yep, that's right. Six years...one pair of glasses.
Mini #1 broke them...six months ago.
After using one pair of glasses in six years and rarely wearing them, I wasn't too keen on dropping $100 on something that I really don't use that often. Especially since I hadn't worn them for the past six months. But with Mini #2 quickly working on an appearance, I decided it was time to bite the bullet and make the purchase.
Enter Zenni Optical (http://www.zennioptical.com/).
I'd read across the blogosphere how Zenni Optical sold glasses for $8.
Yep, $8.
And that included prescription lenses.
Needless to say, I was a skeptic, but figured that I might as well try it.
I asked my eye doctor for my prescription and ordered a pair online. With shipping and handling, the total came to $12.95. I spend more at McDonalds when we go as a family than $12.95.
I was even more of a skeptic.
But then the glasses came 10 days later. And didn't feel cheap. And the prescription was right. And looked decent. And came with a cleaning cloth and a hard case.
I think they're a little too wide for my face, but nothing that I won't wear. And truthfully, for as often as I use them, they're just fine.
Besides, they cost $12.95.
Now seriously, how can you beat that?
*Zenni Optical has not paid me for saying this; but i feel like I got paid since I saved more than $85.
