Inexpensive prescription glasses-found!

I had my annual eye exam yesterday. As part of my benefits, I can get either glasses or contacts up to a certain dollar amount. I elected to get contacts, mainly because I figured that it’s easier to come by inexpensive eyeglasses than cheap contacts. In particular, I’m planning ordering a pair of prescription sunglasses from Zenni Optical. Zenni Optical sells glasses online beginning at just $8 for the pair, but they also sell prescription sunglasses. In fact, Zenni Optical carries a full line of frames with with single vision lens, sunsensor (potochromic)lens, tinted sunglasses lens, bifocal lens and progressive lens. Lest you worry that Zenni Optical sounds too good to be true, they have been featured on the Clark Howard financial show as a good buy. In browsing their selection, I found myself looking at their versatile sunshade models, as opposed to just a straight pair of prescription sunglasses, which would allow me to have one pair for both glasses and sunglasses. While my eye doctor only has sunshade models with wire frames, Zenni carries these plastic frames  with a magnetic sunshade. As I prefer plastic frames owing to my high prescription, I think I’ll be ordering these glasses.
