And my wife has a nasty habit of misplacing glasses. So we have (literally) 10 pair of glasses floating around the house/cars for her.
21 year old son has maybe 8 pair himself.
And this is all a LOT cheaper than buying just one expensive pair at Costco or wherever.
We've had two issues with our Zenni orders. One they took care of promptly and one I just got too lazy to contact them about, so I just forgot about it (since we have so many.)
All in all, I'm a fan.
Edit: because I just get the cheap included lenses most of the time these days, this sale doesn't really help me much. Typically they'll offer a BF or Cyber Monday deal of like 20% off everything. That's what I've been waiting for before I order a couple more pair.

You can avoid all of those complications by getting PRK or another surface procedure that doesn't require a flap to be created. That's what I did and it worked our really well. The down side is that your eyes are sore for a few days. The up side is that you can never experience a flap complication for the rest of your life.
Most people choose LASIK because they can see perfectly and go back to work the next day, and they never even consider the other options. Do yourself a favor and consider all the options like PRK.
I've ordered several pairs at different times (different family members) from Zenni, their quality isn't great and the frames didn't seem to fit that well.
You have to keep your eyes covered for a couple days after and you will get dry eyes for a while. They give you eye drops to help with that. I got mine done in January and I still use eye drops occasionally in the mornings, but I think it's more from the ceiling fan than from the LASIK. I'm so glad I got it done. No regrets whatsoever.
I don't think my head is that huge, but I'm a 5'11 dude, and I bought a pair last year with a temple width of 142mm, and I loved how they looked but they just weren't large enough for my head. I got those silicone extenders to put around the ends of the temple stems, but those only work to a certain extent and I'd find them still managing to slide down throughout the course of the day.
I just filtered all their available male frames by size L (145mm+, which my eye doctor told me is average for men) and it only returned one page of results for oval and round frames, and honestly none of them looked very nice.
I found a pair that look great, but of course they are 143mm...
If anyone has input or suggestions on how I could order smaller pairs and get them to fit - other than the silicone sleeves - please let me know as I do really like many of their medium size frames. But unfortunately it seems this company is tailoring most of their products to women and the sizes available for average sized males are just not as diverse.

Just like anything else do your research and make sure you get it done by a reputable surgeon.
I thought Zenni was all $6-14 frames, they've raised their prices and limited the options for the bargain pricing.
Anyone have advice on a good source for cheap readers? I'm trying not to spend $20+ on them but I'm realizing when you can't customize them, the dollar store version doesn't cut it.
I previously shopped at Americas Best (where I still get my exam done, as I like the OD there). Ray Ban only for about 10 years.
Even the two year old Zenni are still fine. None of the coatings have started coming off, unlike my Americas Best/Ray Bans which never seem to last a full year before they start chipping off. I treat my glasses pretty poorly and wash them with bath soap in the shower, not with whatever bullshit lens cleaners.
Only thing is that Zenni doesn't do super-wide lenses, such as wrap-around sunglasses. Those require different equipment to fill the prescriptions, and I haven't found anywhere that sells them for significantly less than Americas Best.
The closest I found to my favorite wrap-arounds (Rec Spec Biker) were https://www.zennioptica
I am watching AB for sales on my favorite sunglasses. Lost them surfing, but I'm not gonna shell out $400 for frames/lenses with them again.
ETA: now that I see my the coupon I had on my old order, I'm def not going to buy with Zenni right now. I was kinda tempted to get some new styles, but this coupon code isn't good enough - there will probably be something better with Black Friday so close.
