Comments on: Vision Prep – storing eyeglasses http://www.utahpreppers.com/2009/01/vision-prep-storing-eyeglasses/ Preparing Deseret, one blogger at a time Tue, 31 Jan 2012 04:19:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: TP http://www.utahpreppers.com/2009/01/vision-prep-storing-eyeglasses/#comment-2219 TP Tue, 21 Sep 2010 20:23:00 +0000 http://www.utahpreppers.com/?p=902#comment-2219 I just received my first pairs of glasses from Zenni! I love them! My only minor complaint is that my sunglasses were missing one of the metal decals when it came. I ordered one of the $8 glasses just to see what they were like, but I would really recommend upgrading to the polycarbs (especially for kids) if you can since the included lenses seem to scratch pretty easily. I have to admit though I was pretty impressed with what I got for just $8! I love having extra pairs of glasses around the house and in my emergency kits without spending a ton of money. I would definitely order from them again. I just received my first pairs of glasses from Zenni! I love them!

Be careful about measuring the size of your frames. Ordering on-line, you will be asked to select a frame without trying it on first (obviously). I can see perfectly in mine, but my wife says they are a little too small for my big head. Measure your existing eyeglasses and get a very clear idea about your size preferences prior to ordering any glasses on-line. I intend, like Phil, to stock up on eyeglasses through Zenni's wonderful site. I recently purchased a pair from Zenni and they are perfect. Be careful about measuring the size of your frames.

Five seems like a round and reasonable number to have stored away. Glasses are more important than all sorts of other things we stockpile. You can get food, water, etc but glasses are essential and pretty much impossible to improvise. I’ve got a few extra pairs of glasses stashed.

Probably everyone that wears vision correction has thought about having a backup, but what about 5 backups? One backup is great for if you break or lose your glasses/contacts, that’s a great prep to have. But what if we’re in a TEOTWAWKI situation and you can’t get new glasses at all for a very long time? It costs a lot to get replacement glasses and it’s a huge investment - usually - now enter Zenni Optical.
