It's time for my yearly eye exam and along with it comes the cost of a pair of eyeglasses. Wearing eyeglasses are more convenient for me, I just get up and go, no fiddling with contacts. I swear, the total price for a pair of eyeglasses just keeps on going up. My health insurance gives me good coverage for eyewear but I can only get a pair through it. I used to order two pairs, the other one for back-up so it gets quite expensive. This time though, instead of getting my back-up eyeglasses at LensCrafters, I intend to get it from Zenni Optical. I've read a lot about this website from a lot of blogs and they were even featured on Fox News last year. This year, this low-cost eyeglasses website was featured on a New York Times article. Zenni Optical was mentioned for its' affordable eyeglasses.

I checked out the website and was surprised at the prices of the eyeglasses and the options like Progressive lenses, tint, UV coating, anti-glare coating and anti- scratch coating. You can get complete eyeglasses for as low as $8.00, who can beat that price? Of course, if you want something more fashionable, they also have those in their inventory along with many other styles. This is a good deal and it is definitely worth checking out.
