Back before I did any buying over the internet, I would get contacts and then buy fem looking sunglasses for the day time.  Recently a friend suggested buying my glasses from a place called Zennioptical.com.  Now I am definitely NOT trying to shill for this company, but I can't believe I was able to get a pair of fem glasses for $6.95!  The pink tint on the lenses was an additional $4.95.  I bought these and a pair of male glasses with magnetic sunglasses for $35.  That included shipping.  These prices include frames and lenses.

I love it!  I plan on getting a pair for every outfit!

That's cool.

My glasses are absurdly expensive thanks to my prescription. Somewhere between $350 to $400.

My prescription is about $600 downtown.

This website does it all, bifocals, progressives, you name it.  There are adders of course, but it is VERY inexpensive.  You should check it out.  I am most impressed.

And they have literally thousands of frames and styles to chooses from.

$600?

Wow..

I'm fine with what I have at the moment. I do need to get a "back up" pair at some point, though. But that isn't going to be any time soon.

That's script plus cheap frames and lenses.  But even so, going this route, I still paid less than $100 for the exam and two pairs of glasses!

That's a great price!

Dani,  What a find!  This information will undoubtedly come in handy.  Thanks for sharing!

You're welcome, thank you ladies!   I've already ordered two more pair with tints and frame colors to match other outfits.  Most fun!

And now you can see the world through rose colored glasses.

Hello, fellow Nonconformants.

I've been thinking of getting new glasses, myself.  If I were to do contact lenses (aka if I got the courage to stick something on my eyeball) I'd love a pair of fancy sunglasses.  I will check this website out.  Thanks for passing it on.
