Shopping Savings: Zenni Optical

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Zenni Optical for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Do you or your kids wear eyeglasses but you're looking for a way to save some cash - especially on kids' frames, when they may be hard on them, or they might grow out of the them quickly? Zenni Optical offers cheap eyeglasses - and I've actually used their site before, so this is something tI can definitely endorse. My experience was very smooth. I was able to find a pair of basic black frames for less than $20, even though I have an astigmatism. Prices do vary, but if you don't need anything fancy, you can get frames for incredibly cheap. Even if you do have special needs, you can check out Zenni Optical, and I'd assume that you'd have the same success I would. The only downside I experienced is the pupillary distance. This is a measurement that eye doctors take to make sure the lenses match up with where your eyes will focus. It's very difficult to take on your own, and most of the time it's not written on your prescription sheet, so you'd need to ask - or guess, which is what I did the first time. I figured I could gamble since my glasses are for occasional use only. The really nice thing is that they sent along a ruler made to help measure the pupillary distance more accurately, so I was able to double-check it and tweak it if necessary for next time. My frames were cheap (the ones pictured are my current pair and they look cute on me), and have held up to my toddler grabbing them, so I'll definitely be ordering from them again!
