Accessorize on a Budget

With all of the economic turmoil our nation is facing, sometimes we have to let some things slide. For some people it's things like buying a new car or home. For others (like me), it's buying necessary items like eyeglasses. How can someone get cute new glasses without breaking the bank?

At Zenni Optical you can do just that. From simple single vision lenses, to sunglasses and progressive lenses, Zenni Optical is sure to have something in every one's budget. Check out their styles, starting at an outstanding $8.00, by clicking here: eyeglasses. Even if you don't wear glasses yourself, you could pass this information on to someone you know who does!

The Chicago Tribune ran a great, informative article last year about the pros and cons of buying eyeglasses, and offers some tips on how to save money. You can find that article by clicking here.

When buying your glasses from Zenni Optical (as is the case with ordering glasses from any source), you have to have your prescription handy before you place your order. Don't be fooled into thinking that you have to order glasses from your eye doctor just because that's who examined your eyes, either. You are entitled by law to be able to take your prescription for glasses anywhere you want to!

Fashion Envy

I've worn glasses since I was in 4th grade. Being a real fashion plate, my first glasses were HUGE PINK PLASTIC FRAMES, complete with tinted lenses AND a small butterfly sticker in the lower corner of one lens. Yeah, I was pretty cool. NOT.

Over the years, I have always wanted to be able to have multiple pairs of glasses, so I could change my glasses to suit my whim. Unfortunately, my glasses are usually quite expensive, so I can barely afford to get a new pair every couple of YEARS, much less have more than one pair at a time! (Case in point, the glasses I had until May were like 5 years old or something)


I found a new site featuring inexpensive glasses, that might just be the next place I buy from. It's called Zenni Optical, and you can check it out here: zennioptical.com


With frame prices starting at $8.00, this site would be especially good for anyone who, like me, does not have vision insurance!!
