Needless to say, I didn't upgrade my frames or lenses very often. Not a good thing for my vision nor my ego.
Then I took a chance on Zenni Optical. http://www.zennioptical.com I bought my first pair of online glasses for around $40.00. Pearle Vision gave me a price of around $150.00 just for new lenses in my old beat up frames. Here was a complete new set of eyeglasses for $40.00. What did I have to lose?
The glasses I received were great and from then on I've ordered more and have ordered bifocals, progressives, sunglasses, and other types of eyewear for myself and my family. Everything has come back just great.
So today I decided to try Coastal Contacts. http://www.coastalcontacts.com They have a coupon deal with a blog I read, http://glassyeyes.blogspot.com/, for 25% off any order and free shipping. So I picked a pair of their $6.95 glasses and took a chance. The total for my spectacles is $6.04 shipped. You can NOT beat that.

I'll post a review here when I get them.
The $6.04 Glasses
I received the glasses today. I am sure I would have received them earlier but due to all of the snow storms our mail has been late.
ReplyDeleteThey come packed better than Zenni, in a cardboard box. Inside the box is a package of adjusting tools, a plastic case for the glasses, and an invoice. The glasses themselves are packaged within the plastic case and within a drawstring bag. This is incredible packaging.
The frames are excellent. No complaints. Very sturdy with good spring hinges. The lenses are a bit thicker than I normally get with Zenni, but then I knew that from the ordering process. Still they are completely acceptable and probably thinner than I would normally pay for from an optical shop.
All in all, I rate this shop excellent and I'll order from them again.
