Zenni Optical - another home run.

Got my first pair of bifocals from Zenni. Love 'em and they were only $57 shipped to my door. They are progressive lenses.

Great glasses for a fraction of the price. I read about them here first. Hugh posted about them. Now, even Clark Howard writes about them....http://clarkhoward.com/shownotes/2008/10/15/14239/

I ordered a pair of reading glasses from Zenni O. about a year ago...with shipping I think the total was less than $20....excellent quality and I highly recommend Zenni O.

Thanks for the info. I am ready to ditch the contacts and get bifocal glasses. Your posts sure were timely.

Everytime I see a glasses wearing family, I write their website down and give it to them on the back of my business card. When I first tried them at Hugh's suggestion, I ordered 3 pr. of the $8 per and got them for less than $30, all with nice hard cases and cleaning cloth. You just can't beat the price with those accessories. There is such a range of frames as well.

Esp. now with glasses running $150+ per pair, people really can enjoy this savings. Even the "readers" one can get in the drug stores cost more than this, about $14-20.

Great value, great price - and I have received a few call backs for general notary work as well.

Re: Zenni Optical - another home run. Second that!

Been a ZO patient for a few years now. Have nothing but accolades for the product and service. When I broke a pair of glasses and needed immediate replacement, I received them in 2 days. (Of course I paid for the o/n delivery.) Now, if I need new glasses, I always order two pairs. (Actually 4 pairs because I have a special pair for using the computer.)

Perfect timing here too. Have my script from exam, now

trying to do two pair: Trifocals, and Driving Day/Night. I'm finding the coatings are the spendy added costs. Shopping frames online is frustrating, but a wonderful shopper at Freddies a few weeks ago, also checking out frames, handed me a pair and said, "Here, try these." They were perfect, bless her heart.

Glasses are hard for we mobile workers. Thanks for this thread,

I was wondering about that part.

So do you all just shop around, trying on frames until you know what you want to get, then order from ZO? (I have a very hard time finding frames that I think look OK on my small face.) Thankfully, my eyes are pretty good (for someone my age...) so I haven't had to shop for glasses in quite some time, but I think it's getting to be time for an update!
