NERRRRD!

Posted by Justine at 3:39 pm

Let's talk about glasses ^_^ I'm not as vision-impaired as some of my friends (I have one glasses-wearing friend who is legally blind O___O), but I do need to wear glasses or contacts when I go out. I can't see a person's face unless they're standing less than 6 feet away from me.

I thought this was very fashion-related because it seems that "readers" or glasses without prescription are quite popular these days. But I'm also incorporating some helpful links to places that sell prescription glasses for affordable prices ^_^

These are my usual, every day glasses. They're newly-manufactured but resemble vintage-style brow-line eyeglass frames:

Before I got the brow-line frames, I had full-rim frames. Big and nerdy 8D but they fit my head snugly and comfortably.

I have these really trendy clear plastic full-rim frames but I never wear them because they're so loose on my head I can't get them tightened or adjusted because I bought them online :\

All of these glasses were purchased from Zenni Optical. Each pair was under $30 with shipping included, and they are prescription glasses!

Pros:
- Cheap frames
- Lots of selection
- Very fast (from order to delivery, it was 6-8 business days)

Cons:
- You won't know how the look on your face until you actually get them in the mail, after purchasing
- If you have a very high prescription, you have to pay extra for high index lenses
- No refunds or adjustments, and may not be covered by your insurance

Do you wear glasses?

Where are yours from? What style do you like? Do you have multiple pairs? Share share share!!

Love your look. The glasses are pulled off well! Who says glasses cannot be incorporated as an accessory! ; )

I’ve only just discovered this blog after finding your tumblr and twitter through _s… I absolutely love it! This post was very inspirational for me, since I have a hard time of it finding glasses that suit me at a reasonable price. If I lived in the US I would definitely check out that website, but I can’t seem to find out whether they ship internationally. You and Christine are marvellous in this blog, keep it up! <3

Oh my God, I also purchased my current glasses from ZenniOptical. You just can’t beat the prices, so cheap! I’m happy with my purchase, they fit perfectly. The only thing I’m iffy about is the prescription (you have to measure your own PD) :p
