Currently I have a set of wire rim glasses in the breast pocket of my lab coat. It is a prop for a Halloween costume and the lens, which was a strong prescription that made my head ache, have been removed. This constitutes the entire breadth of my eyeglasses experience.
If I were to buy a set of prescription glasses it would need to be an easy process that I could manage at my own leisure and do so for a cost that was reasonable. I've heard it told that a single pair of prescription lens set in a stylish frame can cost $300 and up. Can people afford to have a second pair of glasses at that price? I imagine losing your glasses could put you in a steep financial crisis.
Zenni Optical would be my choice. They don't offer name brand glasses. They make their own. As such there is no middle man, no extra cost margins figured in. You by directly from the manufacturer. Them.
As an online reseller, they also don't have to pay for a lease on a store front or other conventional office costs. You put in some information regarding your prescription and get a pair of glasses in about 2 weeks made especially for you.
The cost? $8 and up. Seems like a clear choice to me.

You know, I have really enjoyed reading your blog. But these advertisements as posts are way over the line. I've been meaning to delete your blog from my RSS reader every time one pops up. Guess I'll go do that now.
Good luck with the blog.
No problem, I totally understand. Catch you later Tony!
