Eyes, Eye Problem, Eyeglasses

My eyes are not what they used to be, they haven't been the best pair as love of reading started when I was young and I think a slightly overused pair of eyes is the result and though I had tried wearing eyeglasses when I was in college, I decided not to until such time that I can't function without one anymore, I just feel heavy when I'm wearing spectacles. These past few weeks, my eyes are showing signs of tiredness and fatigue, I tried eye drops but it only gave temporary relief, I think the longer hours of staring at the laptop might be the cause and I guess, old age is really taking its toll *sigh*. I was debating with myself whether I should get that long overdue eyeglasses now or not, I know that I need a pair now more than ever but after all the spending last Yuletide season, I just can't push it in in our budget, getting one would cost me at least 2-4 thousand and I could very well spend that amount on other necessary stuff. I was torn between blindly buying the eyeglasses, it will solve my eye problem but it will surely leave a big mark on our finances or just let it be for the meantime though my eye problem might worsen, what to do, what to do?

Fortunately the undecided me had a runabout with an Examiner article entitled Cheap eyeglasses are a reality. Check out Eric's review of Zenni Optical (an uncanny title, I agree, but you must admit that it is direct to the point *grins*), would you believe that there's an $8-worth of prescription eyeglasses, if someone had told me that a few days ago, I would surely think that he/she was pulling my leg but after checking out the Zenni Optical website, well, let's just say that I am a convert of sorts *grins*. Their prices ranges from 8 to 40 dollars with additional charges on bifocal lenses and glare-coating, which are both very affordable, too. You can purchase as many eyeglasses as you want and all you have to pay is the $4.95 shipping fee, no extras and no limits. You must be wondering how they are able to sell their eyeglasses at such a low price, well the answer is simple, Zenni Optical manufactures their own eyeglasses overseas and they're selling it direct to consumers, no middleman to hike up the price but as it travel from the lab to your doorsteps, getting your order may take at least two weeks before it reach you, if you're in a hurry I guess you don't have a choice but if you can wait for a week or two, the savings you'll get will be worth it.

Problem solved!
