I think it’s about time I got some new glasses as the ones I have now I have had for at least ten years! Thankfully at the time I got some pretty plain ones because I know from experience buying ‘fashion’ glasses is dumb – as they were so expensive I definitely wanted some that were going to last! I didn’t quite expect them to last 10 years though.
Now that I have lost weight they actually don’t fit me any more though, it’s not really somewhere you think about losing weight but I suppose it makes sense – as you get less fat on your face you are going to need a smaller size.
I found a site where you can buy them for as little as $8, I couldn’t really believe my eyes because my last ones cost about 50 times more than that.
How times change hey? Now, which to pick 
You can get eyeglasses for as low as $8 these days, can you believe that?
I remember when I was a kid they used to cost a fortune. My parents paid for them of course, up until the age of about 16 when I had to start paying for them myself – I think I bought two pairs before giving up and stopping wearing them. I have one ‘bad’ eye and according to the optician me wearing them wasn’t doing too much to help any way.
I went to get my eyes tested again a few weeks ago though as I have been struggling to see my PC screen and it was suggested maybe I should start wearing them again and see how I get on. I groaned because I knew it was about to get expensive – but then I came across Zenni Optical via a review of them in The Examiner and jumped up and down in excitement when I realised how affordable they can be! I only wish I’d have stumbled across the site sooner as I always liked wearing glasses!
I might even treat myself to two or three pairs at this price, so I have different ones to wear depending on my mood or even my outfit
