New Glasses

Hey Friends,

This is Odie checking in with another Saturday blog post. How are you doing this week? I have been doing great. Thank God my sleep has been improving some. Good rest makes things better.

Thanks to my family and friends that have let me know that you enjoyed my last two posts. I love getting feedback. Two weeks ago I wrote about my long journey with my vision. Click here to read it, if you missed it.

I have worn glasses for over twenty years. My first pair I kept for five years. Then I started getting a new pair of glasses every couple of years. Picking a new pair of glasses used to be a lengthy process. I always wanted a nice pair that would last for a long time and I did not want glasses that would clash with my clothes.

Several years ago some of my friends introduced me to a new way of shopping for glasses. They gave me glowing reviews of shopping for everything online. I was skeptical at first but also intrigued. I had to try Zenni Optical for myself. 

I was hooked on Zenni as soon as I received my first order. The cost for a pair of glasses was so affordable, the process was easy and I loved the end results! Their customer service representatives have always been friendly and willing to answer questions or resolve issues.

I now have collections of all types of glasses. I enjoy getting to change things up and accessorizing my outfits with different frames. My prescriptions so far have stayed close enough that I can still wear most of my Zenni frames. Some of my older pairs have retired because they have lived their full life.

Last month I got my updated prescription from the eye doctor. Today I wanted to show you my two new additions. I love both pairs! Click here and here to see them directly on the Zenni website.

This is pair number one. They are a mixture of colors blue/green and grayish-clear. This pair is one of my favorites in my whole collection. I can wear these with so many outfits.    

This is my second pair. I love the green, which is a new color frame for me. Also, I went with a round shape for these frames. It is fun to have something new and different. I will definitely be wearing them 

often! 

This is just one of the many reasons why I love using Zennni. Usually, I get a pair for around $50. Also, I like watching for their sales. I keep glasses in my favorites and if they go on sale sometimes I can get them for a better price.

Before I used Zenni I used to buy my glasses from a national store.  My insurance would cover part of the cost. Then I would still owe over $100. I can get two pairs for less than I was paying in the store.

Zenni offers multiple options for frames and lenses. I always add transitional lenses on every pair. My eyes are super sensitive to sunlight. I love the fact that I have sunglasses with me at all times. 

In the picture below you can see what the lenses looked like when they are transitioned. I also have a pair of prescription sunglasses that are a little darker. I use those for long days in the sun.

Zenni is now offering an anti-fog coating as an add-on to most lenses. I think it was an extra $12.50. I added it to both of my new pairs. I highly recommend this coating! It works great and I can see clearly while wearing a mask. 

The glasses came with a special cloth since they have an anti-fog coating. The cloth reactivates the coating when needed. I include this picture below, so you can see my lenses were clear, even while wearing a mask.

I know I have shared my love for Zenni on here in the past. I wanted to share it again because I get questions often about my glasses. I encourage you to check out the Zennni website here. Shopping for frames is fun and easy. You can upload a picture of yourself and do a virtual try on. 

How do you order glasses online? You need your prescription from an eye doctor. Just so you know, sometimes I have had to ask my doctors to print out the prescription for me. Also, you need to know your eye PD measurement. You can ask your eye doctor or an optical store for this measurement. Zenni also tells you how to measure this at home. I had to have Mom help me get my updated measurement. 

On the Zenni website, you can enter the prescription info and save it to your online account. Then choose your frames and lense options and complete the ordering process. The glasses will show up in your mailbox two to three weeks after you order them.

I know several people that use this company. If you are a new Zenni customer here is a little discount for you. Use this code at checkout. this link here for $5 off your first order.

Do you use another website for your glasses? I know there are several places online to get glasses. Zenni has been the only company that I have used. I have liked every purchase that I have made with them through the years.

Let me know if you decide to try Zenni. Thanks for stopping by for a visit today. I plan to see you next Saturday. I hope you have a great weekend.
