I love wearing glasses, I always have done. I wore them from a very early age so I guess I am just used to them – it amazes me how much my parents used to have to pay for glasses when I was younger though, they could easily cost hundreds of pounds on the high street. Unlike now where as long as you know your PD you can order some online for as little as $6.95 from sites like Zenni Optical among others.

What’s great about them being so cheap is that you can buy more – I have several pairs to suit my various moods, what I am wearing or even the season. With valentines day just around the corner now I am thinking of getting some nice Valentine’s Day glasses to add to my collection. I don’t think I will go for any thing too obvious like a heart or flower pattern, but something in pink maybe, despite it being my favourite colour for some reason I don’t already own any pink glasses and when you can get $6.95 prescription eyeglasses, why not?

I may even ask my other half to purchase them for me as a gift for valentines day, I’d always rather have something that will last rather than the traditional gifts such as chocolate and flowers.
