I have written before about my love of Zenni Optical. I currently have 2 pair of eyeglasses from there and I spent no more than $40. I even broke a pair (totally my own fault) one day. I was able to order a replacement frame from Zenni for only $6 + shipping. You cannot beat that deal.
I don’t see the logic behind spending hundreds of dollars on glasses at all. Especially for those people with children. When my kids were babies they jumped all over me, pulled on my glasses, or they mess with them while they are sitting on my dresser. I would be really, really upset if one of them broke a pair of expensive glasses.
Zenni has a wide variety of styles, colors, shapes and price points. And a recent site revamp makes it even easier to order than before. You can upload a photo of yourself to try on the glasses that you like to see exactly how they look.
I have been thinking of getting a new pair (or two) for a while. I have not ordered yet from the newly laid out site, but i cannot wait to try it. I just recently got my eyes checked, so as long as I have a copy of the prescription from my eye doctor, I’m all set. It’s easy as pie.
And the best part? The maximum price on the site is only $46.
Before you spend an arm and a leg on a new pair of glasses, why don’t you check out Zenni Optical?

I’ve tried some of these “cheap” eyeglasses sites and found their product would break in a month or two. I like 39DollarGlasses.com, They are entirely AMERICAN made and their quality is excellent!
I also got my glasses in just days rather than weeks, since they were shipped from the US and not from China!

January 31, 2011 at 5:03 pmHey Lisa! Thanks for the comment. I have had great success with my Zenni glasses. The ones that I broke were totally my fault. I broke them bad! Other than that I have had the same 2 pair for going on 2 years. Of course there are other good sites out there too like the one that you mentioned. $39 is a great price too! I just know that I am not paying over $100 again if I can help it.
The last time that I did I got some metal frames from Pearl Vision. After like a month or 2 the paint started to peel off and I got a scratch! They wanted me to pay more than I paid for the glasses with insurance to get them fixed!! So, I won’t do metal frames again nor will I do expensive. 🙂
