Many people are switching to buying contacts and glasses online, as the prices are hard to beat. All you need is an up-to-date eyeglass or contacts prescription (which most insurances fully cover) and you can compare and search online. A top eyeglass retailer, Zenni Optical, offers eyeglasses as low as $6.95. At that price, you can buy a few options to match outfits or situations.
A few other free perks to purchasing from Zenni Optical include:
- anti-scratch lens coating
- thin, light 1.57 index single-vision lens
- a protective eyeglass case
- a microfiber cloth for lens cleaning
- full UV protection.
The site offers a “Zenni Frame Fit” option where you can upload a picture and try on frames, or choose from existing faces (try to find the closest one to your face shape). You can also save your favorites, and ask your friends and family to help you choose!
There is a variety of frame options to narrow your search, including:
- colors (multicolor, pattern, single colors, clear, etc)
- frame shape (oval, round, etc)
- type (full rim, half rim, rimless, sunglasses etc)
- gender (men, women, children, unisex)
- prescription type (single, bifocal, progressive)
- price range
With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, don’t these make a cute choice?
