Cheap prescription glasses: The best deals on eyeglasses right now

Buying glasses is something that people can easily spend hundreds of dollars on. But it doesn’t have to be that way!

Did you know it’s possible to spend as little as $6.95 for a complete set of single-vision frames and prescription lenses when you buy them online? This unheard-of low price is from Zenni Optical, one of the best places to shop when you want to get cheap glasses online. Shipping will add $4.95 to the cost. That means your “out the door” price can be as low as $11.90!

Meanwhile, if you’re looking for bifocals many of the sellers listed below offer them. However, there may be some limitations when ordering bifocals online when you have a particularly strong prescription.

“If the prescription is too complex or strong to be ordered online, I’d recommend going to Costco or Sam’s Club and checking out their vision center in-person,” Clark.com writer Dallas Cox tells us. “You could call ahead to see if they’d be able to accommodate the prescription.”

Read on for our list of the best deals from cheap glasses sellers right now…

Looking for deals on contact lenses? We’ve got those, too!

Zenni Optical is a long-time favorite of Clark’s! As we mentioned earlier, their prices are unbelievably low starting at $6.95 for prescription eyeglasses. That “Zenni WOW Price” includes frames and basic prescription lenses, anti-scratch coating & UV protection.

“If you’re wondering how they can be so cheap, Zenni grinds its lenses in China and offers absolutely no service after the sale,” Clark says. “But I’ve used them multiple times and never had a problem.”
