Zenni Optical review

Quick View: Our eyes are extremely important and glasses certainly aren't the place to cut corners. However, Zenni Optical Online offers amazing prices on prescription glasses that are high quality and as good as you'll find on the racks at the optician's. About Zenni Optical This site specializes only in eyeglasses. Their prices start at $8.00 for lenses and frames and these aren't junk either. They then have slightly higher priced glasses up to around $19.00 a pair and a few designer styles. The frames and lenses are included in the prices. If you have to have a very strong prescription or bifocals, there is an additional $4.95 charge. There are a few extras you can choose like anti reflective coating and tint, each $4.95 extra per pair of glasses. They have loads of frames for men, women, and kids and their descriptions are very detailed. You must have your prescription with all values so that they can make your glasses perfectly. If you don't have the values, your eye doctor or wherever you had your eye exam can give you those. Picking out frames is the toughest part. After that, it's easy. You just fill in the values and decide if you want anything extra and move on. Shipping is a flat $4.95 per order for one or 100 pairs of glasses and all come in hard shell cases with lens cleaning cloths. I bought my son a spare pair of glasses at Zenni's and they were nicer than his expensive pair. He is wearing the Zenni glasses now. I definitely will buy my own reading glasses there and continue to buy Chris' glasses there. Obviously, the only con to ordering online is that you can't try the frames on. But if you have an idea of the size and shape you need, it's actually quite easy choosing and there is a guide on the site as well to help with frame choosing. This site is really a money saver. I would never trust a cheesy site for my son's eyeglass needs. This site isn't cheesy. It's very, very good and I really am amazed at the markup these glasses places charge. Zenni Optical's glasses are as good or better than the ones you see at Sears, Wal-Mart, or an independent optician's. They aren't the super high-class designer names (except a few) but they're excellent for the average glasses wearer. **My Viewpoint ** I am super impressed with Zenni Optical and will continue to shop there for eyeglasses. My husband is in need of a pair of reading glasses and I am going to order them from Zenni Optical along with my own. This place is real, honest, and high quality. 5 stars and a hearty recommendation from me.
