I learned so much about eyeglasses when I worked for the Christmas shopping season at the mall years ago at a small kiosk that sold sunglasses. I never imagined how many varieties, styles, brands, sizes, price ranges, and all of the options that are out there these days for eye wear. I enjoyed working there and the experience has made me more aware of the importance of sunglasses. But I have to say that I was surprised to see how much money some of these sunglasses cost and how many people were willing to shell out some big bucks for some of the famous designer sunglasses. They just felt the need to over pay for these items, paying for the brand name is what they were doing.
Anyway I came out of the deal with enough money to have a good Christmas as well as several pairs of sunglasses that I got while they were on sale and while using my employee discount as well. We all know how easy it is to lose or break your glasses and I’m no different from anyone else and I find myself down to only one pair and that will never do. So I’ve been looking around online to see what I could find there.
I ran across an article in the Examiner that was discussing Zenni Optical and how easy it is (and affordable) to find almost any type of eye wear on their website. You can even download a picture of yourself and they have it set up to where you can virtually try on all the glasses that they sell. You name it and they seem to have it there, good quality eye wear for cheap prices. I’ve had fun experimenting with it all and I’m placing my order next Friday. I’ll let you know what I think when I receive my order. Might even post a picture or two!
