If you’re planning on getting a pair of prescription eyeglasses, you would be surprised at the cost of having a pair made. My mom’s new pair of glasses cost her more than $200 and I think that price too much.
There’s this article in the Money & Policy section of the New York Times that offers excellent tips on how to care for your eyes without breaking your bank. One suggestion is to “comparison-shop for frames” because frames can take up a huge chunk of the price of your glasses.
One online retailer that they recommend for a cheap pair of eyeglasses is ZenniOptical.com. Their glasses that has generic frames and lens with anti-scratch coating goes for as low as $8 plus $4.95 shipping.
Actually, you can save more in the shipping if you buy in multiples because shipping fee will still be at $4.95. Perfect for that backup glasses or reading glasses when you’re not too conscious on how it would look like on you.
