    My spouse and I both got prescription sunglasses from LensDirect for about $60 a pair, and the frames started at just $5. The quality has been consistently great, making me wonder why anyone would pay much more elsewhere.

    I tried getting progressive lenses from Zenni, and even though it took a while to ship and they weren’t the best quality I’d ever seen, I still think it was worth considering for the price compared to going to Costco or another in-person place.

    For my regular glasses and a pair of sunglasses, both with my distance prescription, plus backup pairs of both, I spent around $120 total ordering from Zenni. I remember paying way more than that for just one pair at the eye doctor last time.

    I’ve been using Zenni for over 10 years and I believe I’ve saved thousands of dollars compared to buying from traditional stores. It’s unbelievable to me how much lower the prices are online.

    Over the years, I’ve bought about 6 pairs of glasses from Zenni, and they usually cost me around $7 per pair, depending on the style and any extra features I choose. If I had bought all those pairs in a regular store, I’m pretty sure I would have spent hundreds of dollars each time, easily adding up to thousands in savings over the years.
