My review of Zenni Optical, Eyebuydirect, LBWeyewear, and Goggles4U

[Laura]

This video is my review of Zenni Optical, Eyebuydirect, LBWeyewear,
and Goggles4U. My prescription is -8 and -8.25 and I concentrate on
the various lenses that I ordered (1.57 - 1.74 index lenses). You
will get to see some of the zanier frames from Zenni and Goggle4U. I
love my blue bubbles frames! In short, I would order from all of them
again. I wish that I read more of this forum before I ordered, as
then I would have understood the importance of the width of the
frame. If you have any questions, please let me know.

WOW! I'm not sure I'd have had the courage to do a video like that.
Glad to hear that the glasses all worked out so well, even if a few
frames weren't quite what you wanted.

What a testament to the online option!

Wow! You did a great job. That video should help a lot of people who
are on the fence about online eyeglasses.

I've had years of experience of picking out frames that won't look too
bad with the strong correction (I'm almost as nearsighted as you,
-7.00 & -7.50). I avoid the wide,rectangular frames that are in
fashion these days and get frames that are less than 50 mm wide. I
need progressives now and Zenni doesn't do progressives in high-index,
so I took a chance when I ordered from them and got the mid-index in a
metal frame that's 46 mm wide. They're not very thick at all, and the
color of the plastic lenses sort of blends with the grey color of the
frames so they don't look bad at all. They really look better than
another pair I've got that's high index in a wider frame.

Anyway, since I'm cheap and I prefer metal frames to plastic frames,
I'm happy to know that I can get by with the mid-index lenses.

Great review and nice glasses! You have the same taste as my daughter.
She loves Zenni's funky glasses and has the same holiday and bubble
glasses! I also love all of these sellers and use them all, though I
haven't gotten my Goggles4u glasses yet. I have the red/clear version
of the bubble frame - the red/blue/green/ clear frames...with blue
lenses, made up to be sunglasses. I'm going BROKE buying glasses
online!

Yay Laura, it's really well done. When people ask about online
glasses I'm definitely referring them to this video... Thanks for
putting it together!K
