A couple of months ago my pair of prescription strength glasses was stepped on and mangled beyond being able to repair. I am a college student who lives on my own and am paying my way through college, so I needed a cheap replacement. When I went to my local eyeglass store, I found out that I would need to pay over one hundred dollars to replace my glasses. My Health Insurance does not cover the cost of glasses, so I would have to pay for them out of pocket. I did not have an extra one hundred dollars to spend on eyeglasses, so I was forced to go without. The other day I found out about Zenni Optical. They have a large variety of frames at prices that I can afford. Frames at Zenni Optical range in price from $6.95 to $46. This is way cheaper prices then any eye glass store I have ever been too. The frames are just like the ones they sell in stores. There was no difference in the quality or strength of the frames, just the price. It’s nice to know that if something happens to my glasses again I can afford to replace them.
