Eye Glasses Can Be So Expensive

My mom and I both recently ordered glasses online from this website called Zenni Optical. This was the first time I ordered glasses online. I am so stoked about what a great deal it turned out to be, I need to spread the word. I was able to get frames with lenses for astigmatism, glare resistant, scratch resistant, light weight. It was only twenty bucks! Generally I pay two hundred for my glasses so huge savings! My mom got a fantastic deal too. Her glasses usually cost 600-800. At this Zenni website she get frames with the same anti glare, anti scratch coating, but she also got lineless trifocal transition lenses! Her was sixty bucks! I've already had two close friends get classes from them. Seriously, if you were glasses you know how expensive they can get. Pass the word on to friends. How much do you usually spend on a pair of glasses?

I usually spend a couple hundred dollars/ Did they fit your head good. Did you take measurements for them.

Yea they fit great. I was a concerned about the fit considering I couldn't try them on before buying them. The were a little loose behind the ears and fell off my face the first day, but I just too it to the optometrist down the street and had them fitted.

I have good insurance that pays at least half the cost and they are way too expensive. I will look into this site. I've heard about others too.

A Dutch friend of mine was putting off getting new specs because she has an extremely tricky prescription and thought they would cost 6-800 Euros. I got them on line for her for about 25% of that.
