The new batch of glasses I just received makes me take back any nice things I previously implied about Zenni Optical’s nose pad alignment:
Zenni does have a guide to reshaping the frames, but it does not include aligning the pads parallel to your nose, which definitely goes better with wire-bending pliers in hand.
They should look more like this when you’re done:
I suppose this is a consequence of being able to get two eyeglasses + two sunglasses in three different frame styles and two different prescriptions, each with progressive lenses and antireflective coating, for about $350 delivered halfway around the planet.
Makes owning a set of metal-forming pliers look downright economical.
A few years ago, Mary paid more than that for a single pair of badly fitted glasses from a local outlet. Those days are over.
