New Glasses from Zenni Optical!

I ordered these glasses from Zenni Optical and they arrived last Thursday, but I didn't get around to photographing them until today.  My eyesight changed enough that I noticed that I wasn't seeing clearly three weeks ago, so I set up an eye doctor appointment.  I thought it had been about a year since my last one, but it was almost two years!  As I expected, my eyesight had changed quite a bit, so I got a new prescription and went online to browse for glasses.  I wanted to try one of the sites with the free at-home try-on programs, but those glasses were still more expensive than what I wanted to pay, so I went to my usual website, Zenni Optical.  I wrote about how great their site is before, in this post.  Their glasses start from just $6.95 a pair (for both frames and lenses! without upgrades), so they fit any budget.  I have ordered from them before.  I got the green glasses in these photos there, as well as some brown ones that I don't think I ever posted pictures of.  My new ones cost more than the previous pairs, but were still affordable at just under $95.  I got these glasses.  I got them as no-line bifocals, with oleophobic lens coating (meaning that they're oil-resistant and therefore I don't have to clean them a million times a day), and with the tint that makes them turn into sunglasses when I'm out in the sun, which is great because my eyes have been pretty light-sensitive.  They get a light purple tint, which is pretty cool.  I am still getting used to the no-line bifocals.  It's pretty interesting.  The bifocals I had before had a line, so if I looked through that spot in my glasses, I just saw the line.  But these ones don't have a line, so if I look through the spot where the prescriptions change, it seems really blurry and feel a little bit nauseous.  I'm starting to figure out where that spot is so I don't look through it though.  Overall I really like these glasses.  They got the prescriptions correct, just as I entered them in my order.  They are quality glasses with durable plastic frames and pretty thick lenses.

Zenni Optical sent my new glasses in a hard case, along with the prettiest cleaning cloth ever!

  1. Sweet new glasses! I need a new pair myself but I'm probably just going to wait until I run out of contacts before I set up an appointment.

  2. Cute new glasses! I've thought about looking into getting glasses online, too. I REALLY want some librarian chic cat eyes! I'm hoping to find some soon!

  3. I've been trying to remember that website for ages! A friend of mine told me about it about a year ago, but with my goldfish brain, I forgot it within seconds. I'm in need of a new pair pretty soon, so I'm super excited that you accidentally reminded me! Those glasses are fantastic. :)

  4. Yay, I'm so glad I could help. It's not an easy name to remember. I would have forgotten after my first order if I hadn't posted it on my blog :) I hope you find some awesome glasses for a low low price!

  5. Looks great! And the frames do look sturdy. Those cat eye glasses look amazing! I may try ordering from them if my next eye checkup doesn’t result in a drastic change in prescription. I’m already eyeing a frame that I like. Thanks for the link!
