Some of the frames available from 39dollarglasses.com. The top left pair looks identical to a pair I bought at Sam’s (I paid $50 for the frames alone; this site sells the frames and basic lenses for $39).
I need a pair of back-up glasses, and I’ve heard many good things about online discount retailers. Individual bloggers and sources like Reader’s Digest & Clark Howard have recommended sites like 39dollarglasses and Zenni Optical, which offer prescription lenses and frames for less than $40. Has anyone tried these? I think I will, after my next eye exam.
I have ordered from 39 dollar glasses and zenni optical, and I love them both. I got a pair of glasses from zenni for $20 (including shipping) and I am still wearing them a year later, despite dropping them in the street while walking my dogs, and finding them a week later in the dirt!
That’s amazing! I definitely have to try these out–Sam’s wasn’t that expensive, but why spend $150 for backup specs?
Great tip! Thanks.
I bought a pair from 39dollarglasses.com and I’ve had them for about 4 years now. I plan on ordering a new pair when I get my next eye exam. When people talk about how much they paid for glasses, I always tell them where I got mine. The only downfall is you can’t try them on. But since I use my mine as backup to my contacts, I didn’t mind.
