Title: Amazing story on eyeglasses
Post by: Vancouver on January 09, 2013, 12:42:10 AM
The $400 eyeglasses at your local eyeglass store should really be $20.

Thank you for posting that VancouverGuy..



I had heard that in the past that it was inexpensive to make..



Both my husband and I have excellent eyeglass coverage for our jobs, so it is not as bad for us.



If you don't mind me asking VancouverGuy, do you have eyewear coverage?

yea I have some coverage, but it's not much. Lenscrafters told me I'm covered for only $130. So ridiculous. Their eyeglasses + lense is like $400. I decided to order a pair from zennioptical.com instead. Came to about $30 after shipping. They arrived today. I only need them for driving.



How much are you covered for? Do they ever tell you? How much did you had to pay for your last pair of glasses on top of the coverage?

That is so cheap VancouverGuy...good for you..



I am a provincial civil servant and my husband works for a major oilfield service contractor..



Between us we have almost 100% eyewear coverage for ourselves and our children..



If we didn't, we would be looking for cheaper alternatives like you have.



Thanks again for letting people know about zennioptical.com.

I want to thank TheVancouverGuy for all the helpful information he gives us.



During lunch I called one of my girlfriends that doesn't have adequate eyewear coverage for her family..



I told her a gentleman posted an alternative to high priced eyeglasses..



She was very happy and asked me to thank you.



I appreciate all the helpful tips you give us including your thorough knowledge of cameras.
