Did you know that you can buy your customized eyeglasses online? Well, I guess I’ve been living under a rock, because I had no idea that you could buy glasses on the internet. However, now that I’ve discovered this easy way to save on eyewear for my family, I can’t wait to tell everyone else about it.
How many times have you chosen glasses at the eye doctor’s office and then found them to be disappointing? Because your insurance only covers new glasses once every year or two, however, you’re stuck with them. And what happens if little Johnny falls at recess and breaks his glasses? You can either try to repair the glasses or fork over the money to replace them early.
Buying glasses online allows you to replace those glasses at a fraction of the price that you would have paid at your traditional eyeglass retailer. I’ve seen glasses for as little as $10 at some sites. More stylish glasses are available for the fashionable eyeglass wearer for around $40.
Follow these easy steps to purchase your glasses online:
Get a detailed copy of your eyeglass prescription from your optometrist. Many offices even give you a little laminated card with your information on it to make purchasing eyeglasses simpler. Be sure to find out the distance between your pupils as you will need this detail when your place your online order.
Choose an online retailer for your order. Popular options include sites like Zenni Optical or 39 Dollar Glasses. Spend a little time studying the website of your retailer to make sure that you understand their return and shipping policies.
Select a pair (or, at these prices, two) of glasses that you like. Be sure to read the descriptions carefully to make sure you know what you’re ordering.
Choose any extras that you need in your glasses. Don’t forget about upgrades like polycarbonate lenses or shading.
Sit back and relax. In no time at all your new glasses will be delivered to your home. You won’t even have to leave the house to go pick them up.
