The reason you need to buy eyeglasses from online retailers like Zenni Optical

80% of the eyeglasses in the world are made by Luxotica, that’s right, no matter the brand name, the source is the same, but not only do Luxottica make the frames, they make the lenses, they own the stores, they even own the largest eye insurance company, Eye Med - which is why they can charge you 400$ for a pair of glasses that costs maybe $20

75% of people who purchase eyeglasses need them out of medical necessity (as I do) so I went and tried the online shop Zenni Optical, and was able to buy no line bifocals with UV coating for less than $70, when LensCrafters wanted to sell me a pair for $550 - and that’s WITH insurance!

Nicest thing about Zenni? You can upload a photo of yourself to try on glasses, and if you don’t like them - YOU CAN RETURN THEM for credit! This is because you don’t need to gouge your customer to make money, glasses really cost only pennies to make. Now I can buy a couple of pairs, and have choices in what I wear, rather than investing hundreds of dollars - sometimes for quality that sucks.

Regardless of whom you buy from, don’t feed Luxottica any more.

Does this apply to countries outside of the US? And if so does anyone have any links to international glasses stores?

[karadin]

Probably also applies to countries outside of US, Luxottica is Italian, and French lensmaker Essilor has agreed to buy Luxottica in a bid to create a new global giant in the sector. The combined group will have a market capitalization of around 46.2 billion euros ($49 billion), based on both companies’ closing share prices on Friday.

just google online eyeglasses and you’ll find plenty of links.

Zenni is international! I’ve been buying my glasses there now for years and I’ve never had any issues. Not with fit, not with lenses, not with breaks - nothing.

I have a strong, difficult prescription and was regularly paying upwards of $700AUD every two years for a single pair of glasses. I bought my current pair of glasses a couple years ago from Zenni and guess how much I spent?

…$7. In total. Frames and lenses. And they are singularly the best glasses I’ve ever had. I wear my glasses every waking hour of my life and these babies have not just survived but they look almost as good as when I first received them.

And because they are so cheap I also have a pair of sunglasses, and TWO pairs of alternative glasses I can wear when the mood strikes me. Since then my mom AND my dad, my uncle, and my cousin have all started to buy from Zenni.

BUY YOUR GLASSES FROM ZENNI! I cannot stress this enough. If you’re paying retail then you’re being ripped off.

I’ve reblogged this before and Ima reblog it again…

Zenni ain’t the only place out there. In fact I shopped there first then found other’s I liked better. I primarily buy off Eyebuydirect but I have also shopped at coastal and Zenni. Eyebuydirect has been overall my favorite. There prices are in the same price bracket as Zenni which is like $12-$80 for frames and where as zenni you can get lenses for free Eyebuydirect the lenses I think are like $14-18 

but the quality of the glasses I have gotten from Eyebuydirect felt far superior to those I got from zenni, Eyebuydirect also has great customer service. Basically please look around the internet. Like just cause glasses are fucking awesome and deserve to be a fashion statement as well as a need. 

I am currently wearing a pair of glasses from eyebuydirect that I paid a little over $100 I  got frames that where $35 and I got those fancy blue coated lenses that help protect your eyes against looking at screens for extended time (I get way less headaches with them!) those lenses where a bit pricier.

but. in comparison, last I checked in at walmart (fucking walmart.) my lenses alone base cost would of been $140 that’s just the stupid glass discs not even the frames.

For later reading - eveyone in the house needs new glasses and spares.

[rouxlz-kaard]

maybe i didn’t read the post clearly enough, but how do they test you for your prescription if its all online??

[karadin]

You do need to get a prescription from an optometrist, that you can’t avoid, however you don’t have to buy the eyeglasses from your optometrist, some don’t like that because that’s where they make their money - others are paid salary by their stores so they don’t care. Part of the prescription is the pupillary distance, and you’ve paid for that, so they have to give it to you. If they still don’t, Zenni has a ruler you can print out, so you can figure it out yourself.

Also, if you eyeglasses are not correct (I have no line bifocals and those can be an issue, though I’ve never had them with Zenni) you just send them back no charge to get re-made, or send them back for a refund. You don’t lose anything for trying except time.

I have posted about Zenni and about online eyeglasses before (and I’m thrilled to hear about another company).

Do not buy your eyeglasses from a retailer who is going to charge you a hundred dollars when you can get them online for under 25.

[brightlotusmoon]

I have gotten glasses from Zenni since 2013, and at this point I’ve probably saved thousands of dollars with how terrible my eyes are and how expensive my lenses turn out in stores.

[salmiakkivodka]

I got my new glasses from Warby Parker online. The frames I’d looked at at my optometrist were going to run me $250+ AFTER INSURANCE Warby Parker’s are all $95 flat rate. Even without insurance they would have been cheaper than anything offered by my optometrist. And they’re just as good.

[homosexualexpress]

zenni is fucking fab!!! one of my friends legit has like six pairs of glasses that she switches between, because they’re so cheap that she can afford to match them to her outfits. that BLOWS MY MIND as someone who has has to have glasses since fifth grade and has always struggled to pick neutral styles that could work with any outfit. 

i got my own pair from zenni about a year ago and i LOVE them, and their customer service is so good- one of the nose pads fell off in my purse a couple of months ago and i never saw it again, when i livechatted with zenni about it they shipped me a new pack of four at no charge whatsoever. compared to my recent experiences with other optometrist shops where my (extremely fucking expensive like wtf) orders get messed up and they give zero fucks, zenni is EASILY superior and i will 100% be ordering more things from them in the very near future. a++++ very highly recommend !!

[timefortigers]

in the uk i used glassesdirect and they were great! they’ll mail you frames w/o the lenses in to see if you like how they look before you commit to buying. they also usually had discounts on multiple frames and lemme tell you having multiple pairs of glasses is great when youre the kind of person who regularly forgets where they left them before a shower or whatever

what's the art of problem solving? asking as a person with dyscalculia who wishes they could take calculus

its a series of books that teach mathematics really well, and you’re in luck, theres a calculus version of it: here

they’re so good you don’t need a teacher for them imo. just be sure to also get the solutions manual. if you got that money that is. its not going to be as useful without the solutions manual.

As you can see I was inspired by my pencil case for this spread’s colour scheme and I really like how bright it looks 😌  I used this new tape I got from Ikea & I have to say it’s a really nice quality!  I haven’t been doing too well lately but making this spread actually helped me cheer up a bit + listening to my queen & my love Grimes 💕✨
