Here is the link to the Reader’s Digest article: www.rd.com These websites can afford to sell these glasses for less because they don’t have to pay overhead, rent space, and are selling larger volume than smaller store fronts. Here is a good picture of what measurements for glasses you will have to be familiar with. i479.photobucket.com Here is the Zenni Optical homepage: www.zennioptical.com I will have more information on why I am buying all these glasses later…

What software are you using for your video? That tilt feature that shows the web pages on an angle is nice!
what video capture program did you use?
I need glasses for the first time and I am nervous about making the wrong decision in ordering but I am still going to order here. TY so much for the info. I didn’t pass the vision test at the DMV. Darn it!!!
@jeankeir I don’t think they let you buy the frames by themselves (unless they have made some recent changes to their website I don’t know about…!)
Do you know if it would be possible to get the frames and then get my own prescriptions but in at a lab in my city?
@secrets2keep Spectacle prescriptions and contact lens prescriptions differ. You Rx at the cornea will be different to the Rx in a spectacle mount 12-14mm away from your eyes!
@taurusmoxie Can I call my eye doctor and ask for my prescription without even seeing him first?
@secrets2keep Well, I would recommend using the perscription for your glasses…however the values are the same for me for both the glasses and contacts – however the information on the side of the contacts doesn’t have appear any information on the AXIS, OD, or ADD fields, so I suppose it would be okay.
If I have my prescription for my contacts that I wear would this be the same prescription for the glasses?
I buy from zenni online too..I love their glasses!
what if my optometrist put as my PD 60/63, does that mean I can put 60,61,62,63, like, just pick any random one, cause i think i’d rather put 61 or 62.
But i think i’m gonna get a pair from Zenni Optical some time soon
Thank you so much for the detail review. It really helps me to decide if I will order for that site or not.
@Gaasher Well I didn’t fill them in this particular video because I thought it was running a bit long, but I did fill in those fields in the remake of the video (you can see it by clicking on the link in the video by clicking on the text overlay…)
In general it depends on what your perscription is, if it’s blank on your perscription, than you can just leave it blank in the online form.
What about the OD-CYL, OD-AXIS, OD-ADD fields? Just leave them blank?
@taurusmoxie lol. I use both. I like them both. But IE… iewww
@Chrisnoscrub047 No, how dare you, I just used it because I had a million tabs open on firefox
…. I’m thinking of trying out Chrome though….
wow you were still using IE up through 2009.
@Bullethole357 Ah yes…the beauty of outsourcing. I suspected as much when the plastic bag had “china” written on it….
I have bought from Zenni and they are a great value. The lab for these specs is in China. That is why they are so inexpensive.
I’ve been ordering from Zenni for 3 years now. Convinced my son to give them a try. He’s rough on glasses and so far Zenni glasses have lasted longer than the several hundred dollar glasses he kept buying.Cost was 20 dollars and they have the Memory Titanium along with anti glare coating.
wow awesome video. they are a good company… savings are ridiculous!
BTW how did u do that zoom/tilt on the camera to record what you were doing on the screen with the cursor??? what program are u using?
I am trying to make sure that my sizing is correct so they will fit right ? When I measured lens width 48, lens height 34, bridge size 22, frame width 132, temple 103. Can some of the sizes be smaller then that ? The size of the frames I was looking at is Lens Width 52mm, Height 30mm, Bridge 19mm
Frame Width 135mm, Temple Arm Length 140mm. Its hard to tell if they will fit do you oversize yours so you make sure they fit ?
One more thing I forgot to mention – If you are planning on buying a pair of glasses at Zenni Optical make sure you actually measure and old pair of glasses or you face and pick a pair that fits your measurements. There is nothing more disconcerting then waiting 2 weeks to get a pair of glasses and they don’t fit.
