So, thanks to the blog of the wife of one of my co-workers from my old job, I found out about a very, very inexpensive site to get glasses called Zenni Optical. Like, the cheapest pair you can buy off the site, for a full pair of glasses (lenses, frames, etc), is $8.
Yes. EIGHT DOLLARS.
All you need is a copy of your prescription - the whole thing, not just the diopter thingy but the number for the distance between your two pupils. I happened to have my prescription in my wallet, so I went ahead and ordered a pair just to see what happens. I actually ordered two pair of glasses. I mean, really, eight dollars?! Obviously there's a shipping cost, but it's only like an additional $5 with no limit to the number of pairs of glasses you order.
Is there a catch? I'm not sure. I don't think so - my friend orders her glasses there. I'll let yall know when I get the glasses in about two weeks.
