Fashionable Eyeglasses Need Not Be Expensive


In her New York Times article, Lesley Alderman wrote that with the ongoing financial crisis, consumers need to be wiser when it comes to vision care. She says that when thinking of buying eyeglasses, people should consider Zenni Optical for inexpensive presciption eyewear, including stylish frames and photochromic lenses. So for those want big savings when buying prescription eyewear, they also have $8 eyeglasses suitable even for those who are on a very tight budget.

When I think of prescription eyeglasses, the mental picture that immediately comes to mind is that of a schoolmarm wearing those plain black-rimmed eyeglasses that look like they have been out of fashion for decades. So when I browsed the online catalogue of zennioptical.com, I was surprised to find that they have a wide range of stylish eyeglasses for men and women.

One item which caught my fancy is a fashionable pair of women's eyeglasses in Burgundy (see image above). The metal alloy full-rim frame is adorned with a crystal arc at the rim, has a spring hinge, and sells for $23.95. The frame is also available in Pink and looks adorable, too.

Zenni Optical also sells children's frames, prescription goggles, and bifocal/progressive frames. All their eyeglasses come with a stylish frame, thin and light lens with anti-scratch coating, a good quality hard case, and a microfiber lens cleaning cloth.
