I don't have children that wear eyeglasses, not yet anyway. Thing is with children and some adults, it is hard to keep from ending up with broken glasses. I remember as a child breaking or losing at least 5 pairs of glasses and I just recently broke appear even at the age of 46, things can happen. I can only wish that I had known about Zenni Optical two months ago. Zenni Optical offers glasses starting at a mere $8.00 for a pair with single vision 1.57 lenses. They also offer the wide fare of options and upgrades for you to choose from. It costs $17.00 extra for standard bifocals and $21.95 for multi-focal no line progressive lenses. You can get memory titanium frames, starting as low as $19.99 to around $29.99. For the price I paid to replace my current glasses $200.00, that's not counting the lenses, I could have had 3 pairs of glasses that are even better than what I have now. There is an extra charge for high index lenses, so if your sight very is poor, it is going to cost a bit more. Even with this extra charge, you will still end up paying a lot less. Don't pay too much for your next pair of glasses. I think it would be worth taking a look at their website. There are some things that you should be aware of if you're ready to order a pair of glasses from them. Request your PD (Pupillary Distance) from the person performing your exam. If your eyes were examined by a licensed Optometrist or Optician, they are required by law to provide you a complete written prescription. So don't let them fool you by saying they don't give out that information. Don't allow yourself be afraid to ask for this information either. You paid for the exam, it is your right to have it. If you feel uneasy just tell them the truth; you are feeling the economic pinch and this is the only way you can afford glasses. Those of you have a child who wears glasses and have had them broken days, weeks sometimes only moments after you buy them you will understand. Many of the glasses at their site are quite fashionable. Your little prince or princess won't be forced to wear a pair of nerd glasses or stare at a wad of tape because you simply don't have the money. Of course if you like the nerd look, they have those kinds of frames also. Zenni doesn't lure you in with low eyewear prices only to stick you with outrageous shipping and handling prices either. It is $4.95, no matter how many glasses you order. Zenni is definitely worth taking a look at. Next year if I need new glasses, I know where I'm going to go.
