Clarify Your Vision for 2008 with Low-Cost Prescription Glasses from Zenni Optical

Save Money By Buying Prescription Glasses Online
If you're in the market for an inexpensive pair of prescription eyeglasses to see you through your next writing project--or perhaps to use as a backup when you've misplaced your main pair--you might want to look into buying your glasses online, which can save you money.
Prescription Glasses for $8.00 a Pair? How is this Possible?
Zenni Optical, an online seller of prescription glasses, offers a variety of eyeglass types and styles, as well as a number of added features/treatments at very reasonable prices, which can help stretch your eyeglass budget. Their basic, single-vision lens eyeglasses, which are available in a wide variety of frame styles, start at only $8.00 a pair complete. This very competitive price is possible not only because Zenni Optical sells direct to the customer, eliminating the middleman, but also because the company's advertising budget is virtually non-existent.
A Few Details About What You Get from Zenni Optical
At Zenni Optical, all eyeglasses come with free anti-scratch coating, UV protection, lens edge polishing and beveling, hard case, and lens cleaning cloth. In addition to single-vision glasses, Zenni Optical also offers bi-focals and progressive eyeglasses, as well as a number of different lens and treatment upgrades for your chosen style, at various prices. Shipping charges are a flat rate of $4.95, regardless of how many pairs of eyeglasses you order.
Zenni Optical: A Company Well Worth Checking Out
All in all, this company's prices, practices, perks, and product choices appear quite reasonable, and they look, to me, like a company which would be well worth checking out. The only downside I can see here is that you wouldn't be able to try the glasses on prior to purchase to be sure you like the style; but I think this could be fairly easily overcome by experimenting with different frame shapes/styles at your local optical outlet to find out which eyeglass shapes and frame types look best on you. At any rate, it would be hard to go wrong for $8.00 a pair.
So, why not check out this Great Discovery: www.ZenniOptical.com, and see if it doesn't save you money on prescription eyeglass purchases in 2008.
Here's to clarity in 2008!

Sounds as if you'd need to hold them to their $4.95 flat rate for shipping!
I've never actually ordered from this company (in fact, don't even wear prescription glasses--just non-prescription "readers"). But I will say that I wouldn't worry as much about trying out a new online optical store by making an $8.00 purchase as I might about making a $100.00 purchase!
I'm assuming that PayPerPost has determined this company to be legit before accepting its ads--and certainly, if anyone finds it to be otherwise, PPP has a method of feedback in place, which allows bloggers to rate the advertisers whose paid content they post. So, I don't think a dishonest or unreliable advertiser would last very long at PPP. But, of course, that's just my opinion.
If you do decide to order a pair of specs from them, let me know how it goes!
Thanks for the comment!

The href= type links need to be placed between HTML tags when used at Orble, just like any other HTML code does. I really much prefer Orble-type links, because I'm more used to them, but the href= type work here also, as long as HTML tags are used. That prevents them from turning into those annoying "really long links." (In other words, you will bypass Orble's link-building method entirely, simply copying the entire link directly from PPP and pasting it between two Orble HTML tags.)
Hope that helps!

P.S. One thing I've learned through experience, though, is that at Orble, it's best not to place href= type links in the first few lines of your post, because when your post is displayed on the Orble home page, these links show part of the code for some reason, which looks pretty unattractive. So, I always place this type of link farther down in my posts to avoid that problem. Good luck!

No problem! I totally understand! HTML can certainly be a challenge! I'll send you a PM.
