About Me

My Photo
A homeschooling mother of one teenager and a little. In 2001, I resigned from my 13 year position as a case manager to homeschool my oldest who was a preschooler at the time, and later a daughter who came along in 2005. This is by far the hardest job I've ever loved. My husband of nearly 20 years supports us as a fire fighter and EMT.

Inexpensive Eye Glasses


This is our third time ordering from Zenni Optical, an online optical store. They have great deals beginning at $6.95 for frame and lens. My prescription is fairly high, so I have to pay extra for a special thinner lens; however, my son is able to get a thinner lens for free. You don't have to choose the thinner lens, but at my prescription strength, it's much more attractive and comfortable. I just purchased my son's frame and lenses for only $10.90(includes shipping), a great help for keeping the budget in check.

When ordering through Zenni Optical, you'll need to remember to tell your optometrist to write down the Pupil Distance(P.D.) distance on your prescription. Usually this is done by an optician when you order glasses via a brick and mortar store.

We have been using Zenni every since I read about it on your blog a while back. My husband and I wear tri-focals and they are less than a third of the price online.

Oh, wow! You've been reading for a while. I'm so glad you've been able to reduce your costs. It's getting harder and harder to cut corners these days.
