Eyeglasses for me!

Sometimes I am having headache after facing the monitor in a few hours. I am sleepy and I am dizzy. I am far sighted. Mom told me to go to an optical clinic for eye check up. I think mom is right I need an eyeglasses. While I was surfing in the net, I found out that Zenni Optical in the New York Times?! The New York Times featured Zenni Optical in their new post Seeing Straight Without Breaking Bank as the cheapest eyeglasses online because you can buy prescription eyeglasses for only $8! That’s amazing huh..

I like this one because it fits to my eyes.
