I like saving money. I’m frugal, not cheap, but always looking out for bargains. One of the things that I spend too much money on is eyeglasses. Having Sjogren’s Syndrome (a disease that has the symptom of dry eyes) makes it difficult for my Opthamologist to test my eyesight correctly.

Depending on the dryness of my eyes my vision is affected. I can be tested one day and be 20/20 and on another day be worse. Since he really doesn’t want me to continue to spend money on new glasses each time he suggested that I use the over the counter reading glasses.

This has worked out pretty well but I’ve gone through a lot of these pairs too and let me tell you the cost adds up. It’s either that I but a pair that isn’t made well and breaks after a few months or that my vision changes and I need a different strength.

With http://www.ZenniOptical.com I may have a solution to my problem. They offer many types of prescription lenses as well as a large selection of frames. I found some that I really like. Some of the types of lenses they sell: Monel Steel Alloy, Stainless Steel, Titanium and Memory Plastic.

Here’s what really caught my frugal eye – $ 8 Zenni Optical Rx Eyeglasses! Now that’s what I’m talking about. Quality and a great price. Shipping is only $4.95 no matter how many pairs you purchase. It’s easy to order too. The directions on how to use your prescription makes it easy.
