Did watching the bespectacled Stephen Nedoroscik, aka, Pommel Horse Steve, inspire you to buy a new pair of glasses? Us too. And we know of a sneaky way to get a shiny new pair of frames for just $1.
Zenni Optical, home to a slew of luxury eyewear brands, is having a flash sale now through August 11 where you can score $1 frames (yes, as in one dollar) with any lens purchase over $24. Among the many summer sales we’ve seen, Zenni’s is definitely one of the best looking (ugh, was that too cornea?). Read on to shop the styles we have our eye on. Sorry, no more vision puns!
What is Zenni Optical?
Zenni Optical is an online optical company that offers affordable prescription glasses, as well as brand-name frames, sunglasses, and contact lenses. Alongside Zenni’s own frames you’ll find styles from designers like Kate Spade, Calvin Klein, Marc Jacobs, and Jimmy Choo, plus sportier brands like Adidas, Under Armour, and Nike. You’ll see plenty of athletes and celebs rocking Zenni including Keke Palmer and the U.S. Olympic Beach Volleyball Team.
How Zenni Optical works
Step 1: Choose the eyeglass frames that call to you, then try them on using Zenni’s virtual try-on service. Sure, this doesn’t exactly give you a feel for the frames, but the technology is pretty great and does a good job of suggesting how the frames will look on your face. Many of Zenni’s frames also come in a variety of colors and patterns, so you’ll have no shortage of styles to choose from.
Step 2: Once you’ve selected your frames, you’ll choose lenses. Most frames are available for prescription ranges between -20.00-+12.00, and a PD (pupillary distance) ranging from 59-79 mm. Many Zenni frames are also available as progressive or bifocal frames, sunglasses, or even as blue-light blocking or clear lenses if you don’t need a prescription (but want to look super cool). Note: you’ll need to upload a photo of your written prescription for corrective lenses.
Step 3: After you’ve chosen lenses, you’ll have the option to engrave your glasses with whatever 15 characters you’d like. Zenni also sells cases, cleaning supplies, and a repair kit, all of which you can add to your order before you check out.
Step 4: Select your shipping method and check out! Zenni ships to over 200 countries worldwide and offers returns on glasses within 14 days of receiving your order for a full refund (or within 30 days for store credit). Zenni also has a replacement warranty for broken frames in the first 30 days.
Happy shopping!
