Eyeglasses Are A Necessity- They Shouldn’t Cost A Fortune

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Zenni Optical for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

It wasn’t until I became a mom that I started to wear eyeglasses, and now I find them indispensable…how did I get by without them for so long? I thought it was vanity that prevented me from wearing glasses, but considering how attractive and stylish eyeglass frames can be, I’m really not sure why I was so concerned. Now I wear prescription eyeglasses late at night to read or check on my son, and again in the morning to let my eyes rest before I put in my contacts. Glasses saves me from accidentally falling asleep with my contact lenses in, something I have done quite often.

Eyeglasses are a health item, a necessity, but not all insurance companies cover them, and they can be pretty expensive, which is ridiculous because eyeglasses have been around forever and should be readily available and affordable to anyone who needs them. To that end, Zenni Optical is a company that makes their own branded, quality cheap eyeglasses and sell directly to the customer, without a middleman or retail overhead, and depend on word of mouth rather than an advertising budget to get the word out about their quality eyeglasses and service.

Because eyeglasses are a health item necessity for most wearers, ZENNI takes pride in being able to offer a product of quality, durability and comfort that is also safe and affordable. A friend of mine recently shared that she spent $600 on a pair of eyeglasses. That is insane, in today’s economy especially, but at any time. Imagine what she could do with the money saved by buying from an affordable eyeglasses manufacturing company like ZENNI (like pay a mortgage payment, buy new winter coats for her family, or recarpet a room in her home).

My current glasses could stand to be updated, so I found this pair on ZENNI’s site (love the details on the frame):

    I like the ones you picked out!! Great choice 🙂

  • I love those frames.

    I don’t have to wear glasses yet, but if I ever have to I’d probably choose something similar to what you posted.

    Love them.
    I’ve been using this company for a while now.
    A third cheaper than what they would normally cost in retail stores.
    Which is great since I need three pairs!!!!!

    I love the green and the shape of the glasses. I just saw some cute ones at Target.

    Cute glasses! I had LASIK so don’t wear them anymore but sometimes I wish I did because the frames have gotten so much cuter. I guess I still have sunglasses.

    Problem is with “discount” eyeglasses, is they come from China. You have to wait WEEKS to get them and the quality is usually sub-par.

    All these $6.00 eyeglasses companies are not as good as they claim.

    Buyer beware!
