New prescription eyeglasses from eight dollars!

I’ve found a company that sells new prescription eyeglasses from 8 dollars! Recently, I had to purchase a set of eyeglasses for my wife. Even though we had insurance, they covered only $40 dollars of a $220 dollar bill, which really put us back a couple of weeks. Now I know with all the options available to us, we will never pay high prices for prescription eyeglasses again.

The Chicago Tribune recently ran an article entitled “Price ranges for eyeglasses prove real eye opener.”, which discusses how it’s safe to buy prescription eyeglasses over the internet, and how internet companies are able to sell them so cheap.

One such company is Zenni Optical. They can afford to sell the eyeglasses so low because they ship them directly to the customer, and they don’t have a huge advertising budget. When you buy any product from a store, the store will mark up the price in order to make money, but when you buy direct from the manufacturer, you eliminate the middle man!

You might be thinking “Yes, but they are only going to have one type of frame.” You can put these fears to rest, there are many different types of frames to choose from. So the next time you need prescription eyeglasses, do yourself a favor and check them out.

If you don't have a complicated refractive problem and simply need glasses for reading, I've found that the generic glasses available at Walmart, Walgreens etc for about $10 work just fine. I keep a pair in the garage and one in the basement for times when I need my glasses but don't have them with me.

Oops, sorry. I just realized this was an advertisement blog item.

Please feel free to erase my comment; I won't be offended.
