Last year we discovered that our daughter needed to wear reading glasses. My husband and I do not wear glasses, so we had no idea how much it cost. Upon doing research I discovered that glasses are extremely expensive. It doesn't matter if you are an adult or child, you almost need a loan to purchase a pair.
Okay, so like having a baby for the first time, I wanted the best because I don't know that anything less would do. We paid $200 for our 10 year old daughter's glasses. That price was better than what our insurance offered. We brought the wipes that cost $9.00. I didn't know you could get them at the dollar store for $1.
Then I discovered there are many alternatives to paying retail prices for glasses.
1. my piano found a guy who makes eye glasses for $30 a pair out of his garage. I saw the glasses and they looked great!
2. then I found out about a place where eye glasses start at $8 a pair. Go to www.zennioptical.com.
3. finally, a friend told me there are places you can purchase eye wear for $99 and you can buy one and get one free.
Do you wear glasses? How have you been able to save on eye wear expenses?
