Eyeglass Frames For The Holidays!
If you remember, I mentioned that Patrick was suppose to buy a new pair of eyeglasses online. Well up until now he just hasn’t been able to get around to it. A couple of weeks ago we went to the eyeglass company that he usually goes to and he asked for his prescription. The lady was very nice, wrote down the necessary information, and handed it to him. When we got home he went online to Zenni Optical and started filling in all the necessary information. Everything was going along smoothly until it came time to put in the PD; Pupillary Distance. (For some reason they seem to leave that off, so be sure to ask if you’re getting a copy of your prescription.)
In any case, it was too late to call back because the store had already closed for the day. Then with the holidays and all, we just sort of forgot about it. A good thing too because Zenni Optical now has a large selection of Holiday Frames to choose from in addition to all the other frames that they offer!
If you’re thinking,… what with the economy in such dire straits,… and all the Christmas shopping that you have to do,… and the money you’ll be spending,… that it’s just not the time to think about purchasing a new pair of glasses. Well, the good thing about Zenni Optical is anyone can afford to buy glasses! Some of the holiday frames run as little as $8 to $9.95. You can’t beat that!
Actually, if there are some people that you just don’t know what to get them for 
Christmas, a new pair of glasses could make a great gift! There are a number of intriguing designs to choose from; some frames are fun, others are kitsch, and still others are more than interesting to say the least! There is definitely something for every taste imaginable!
Maya Muses: We’ll see what Patrick picks! I’ll be sure to post a photo of him wearing his new eyeglasses soon!

How will you know if the eyeglasses fits you?
As you can’t try them on?
I usually have to try on many frames before I choose one I like!
I’m just asking….

I don’t think you can! So it’s just the chance you take. I’m like you, I try on at least a dozen frames before I find one I like.
They say that if the glasses were incorrectly produced by the lab, they’ll correct them at no additional charge, but if you just don’t like the glasses because of the way they look and you want to return them….then they’ll only give you a 50% refund for 30 days. After that, you’re stuck with them.

I bought two pairs and I’m really happy with the results! They have a wide selection of frames to choose from and it cost me 1/4 of what it would have cost if I had bought them at the place I use to go to!

I have purchased several pair of glasses from Zennioptical. Have had very good luck with them.
I’ve never had a problem with the fit. When I receive them I put them on and wear them. They always seem to fit just fine.
They have many styles and different prices to choose from. Can’t imagine anyone not finding something they like.
I will never go back to purchasing from an optican store unless it is online, it is so much cheaper.

Patrick and Terri,
So true! No more outrageous prices for a pair of glasses for me!
