thanks!
I have an awful prescription and I usually buy my glasses online. nothing like getting quotes for $600 on lenses in town!
on zenni, I think the lenses for my prescription are something like 50 bucks, maybe?
zenni is in china and takes a while to ship but I know of many people who were satisfied with their purchases
you can also check out their facebook page where people constanty leave feedback, good and bad
ive never purchased a pair from here as I've never found anything that I really loved the style on
but for these low prices, many people are able to get multiple pairs and different styles!
may I suggest considering a "spring hinges" frame from zenni that wont break so easily? also, I will mention that the tintings/coatings are probably older technology compared to what is offered for hundreds of dollars in town? many of the glasses I've ordered from overseas have been prone to scratches, whereas apparently the newer tech used in local optmetry places is high quality and very resistant to scratches? could be true, could be salesman jibberjabber
perhaps the cost savings makes it worth it to you :D
ive done lots of research so I just wanted to share
also, if you need your pupil distance, its quite easy to measure with a ruler and a friend with a steady hand. I had DH measure mine and compared it to an optometrist's measurement later and he was right on. we watched a youtube video.Last edited by r0c0upons; Tue, Dec 2nd, 2014 at 01:37 PM.

I have gotten glasses from Zenni and Clearly Contacts and I like them both. It's true that they are not super amazing quality, but they are good enough for me. I find that even if you have insurance at $630 a pair (thanks to dispensing fees and such) there's no chance that the $300 a year you get with your plan will cover your glasses.
Be sure to pay attention to weight and the arm length of frames-wearing heavy frames that look cool is a drag. So is having long arms that squish your head. When I buy them I usually get about three pair to justify shipping.

turns out there's a zenni sale right now for BUY 2 GET 1 FREE WITH FREE SHIPPING!
ends 12/4 at "midnight"
code: B2G1FREE
I did a mock order and it zeroed out the least expensive pair I added, including the most expensive coating and the special lenses I need, total for 2 pairs of glasses with spring hinge, thin lenses, and the coatings AND a pair of sunglasses with thin lenses and a mirror finish = $165
edit: meh, Canada shipping is 9.95 despite the promo code. still get a free pair though!
Great for getting a pair of rx sunglasses or something!Last edited by r0c0upons; Tue, Dec 2nd, 2014 at 04:20 PM.

I recently got my first pair from them and love them. Better than the ones I got through Walmart which I paid $130 for!

Perfect timing! I just had my eye exam last Friday and the optical shop quoted me $525 for BOGO, and $375 for one pair! I then asked how much it would cost to re-lens my existing 2 pairs and they said "BlueCross says you have $152 available, and it costs $175 for the re-lens but we could do it for $152 all in." I said I'd get my glasses from home and come back. I didn't go back....I went online looking at Clearly.ca (who I ordered 6 pairs from in the past 6 years) and another ciompany. I will check out Zenni Optical for sure. It's shocking what the physical retail stores charge!

Awesome deal!
Never heard about Zenni, but I ordered an inexpensive glass online last year and it was quite good(can't remember the name of the site), so I gonna give it another try definitely.
