Cheap Eyeglasses!

[windawake]

I'm guessing some of you savvy, bespectacled mustachians have already found this website, but if you haven't, it's life-changing: Zenni.com.

Yesterday my first pair of glasses came in the mail from that site, less than $23 for frames, lenses, anti-glare coating, and shipping. I only wish I'd discovered this website before spending $180 last year on a new set of glasses (which I thought was a steal back then)!

I can attest that they are real, legitimate glasses. I don't care about anything else besides them fitting, looking good, and being the correct prescription and those were all on par. I got really stressed last year needing new glasses and how expensive glasses are at most places, this is the perfect solution. I think I'll even buy a pair of prescription sunglasses in a few months, since they're similarly cheap and squinting all the time sucks. Hope this helps some of you!

I ordered from Zenni several years ago and was happy, both with the product and and the speed in shipping.   Would highly recommend.

http://glassyeyes.blogspot.com/  has links (and discounts!) for three other online stores: eyebuydirect, goggles4u, and 39dollarGlasses.  I got my last pair (without fancy coatings - very bare bones) for $5 with a sale.

I like clearlycontacts.ca for the Canadians.

+1 for http://www.goggles4u.com/
 
I know many bespectacled folks who have gotten what they need for $10, and one who has complex needs --lots of coatings, different lenses for each eye, super strong prescription etc., was shocked that it all came out right--though the price was a little higher for the extras, still about 1/10 of what he ever paid before.

I've had really good success with them. My glasses broke while I was living in Sydney, Australia a few years ago. Bought 3 pairs of glasses for half the price of my original pair back home. Free shipping to Australia and they came in 4 days. I still have all the glasses and they've all been fine.

Love www.zennioptical.com .  Got my perfect $26 (I think) glasses from them.  Several years ago I bought from eyebuydirect.com and my Rx was completely messed up.

Thanks so much posting this! I never would have thought of getting glasses online and now I have two pairs and my husband got a spare all for under $30. Awesome!

Convinced my roommate to purchase her new glasses from Goggles4U.com and she said she's never going back.

I have so many pairs of glasses now.. but I think I might do laser eye surgery as my next step.. spend my 30s glasses-free. It'll be much nicer for whitewater rafting / kayaking.

I love Zenni optical.

I second www.clearlycontacts.ca for the Canadians! AMAZING. Their customer service is the best I've ever experienced.
