Zenni Optical, Three out of Three

First I got these.




Then these.



Now, I have these (in purple). I love them.

In Real Life

I'm really loving this cheap frames from China racket. I can get a frame in every color and style and not feel too bad about it.

Zenni's been getting a bad rep lately for slower shipping. I think that period might be over, as I got these in two weeks. Sounds like a long time, but remember they had to grind my lenses, assemble my glasses, and ship from China. Not bad at all.

Now that I'm all brave and shit, I'm scoping out this new place, Eyewear Magic. Peep.

I've always wanted a red frame.

I'm a sucker for rhinestoned frames.

Zenni Optical, The Come Up: Eye Wear

Adorable aren't they? Only 15 dollars.

Good eye wear. Expensive, hard to find, and way too labor intensive.

Problem solved, my peeps. Lord knows, like everything else, I've spent thousands on the perfect frames, and like everything else, I have way too many of them. However, too many is never quite enough. Enter the online prescription lens phenomenon. Apparently, the mark up on eyeglasses is so incredibly remarkably high, we are all being forcibly coitused every time we see our optometrists. Online eye wear providers only ask that you have your prescription and pupillary distance (PD) measurement, and they are willing to give you a full set of frames from $8.00. Yep, that's right, lenses, frame and all.

I ordered from Zenni Optical because I found their frame choices most attractive, but there are several other companies out there. Over at Glassy Eyes, you can find links to these providers, reviews of their service, and coupons. As for me, I'm sold. My glasses arrived roughly one week after I ordered them, and they're great. Yet another way for me to spend less and get more. Yay me.


Soon, I'll be sporting all of these:
