I am not sure why, but I am blessed with terrible eyesight. Everyone in my family wears glasses and mine is by far the worst of anyone I know. I am considered legally blind especially my left eye. So when I buy new glasses it is terribly expensive. I figured out the other day, I had my old pair of eyeglasses for 6 years because I could not afford a new pair. Trust me when I say it was tough to work most days. I did have those really ugly ones but they bothered my eyes after a few hours of staring at a computer monitor. Well, I am thrilled to say I finally got a new pair that feel good and look good on me too!
From GlassesUSA comes my salvation for my eyes! I was thrilled to be able to review a new pair of prescription glasses today and to tell you about the methods used.
When I first went to the site, I was immediately impressed by the brands and the thousands of styles that were offered. The range of prices is good too. I wanted to be sure that I could find a pair that would be sturdy and last a long time. I also wanted to be able to upgrade my lenses for the thickness of my prescription. These were very important qualities I looked for first. All of these options were in place when I visited and checked out the site.
I did my searches using the style of frame that I wanted. I have worn glasses for a hundred years or so it seems so I am very aware of what looks best for my structure and coloring. Within a short time I found the pair of frames I liked. I them loaded in a picture of me without glasses and virtually tried them on with their new Virtual Mirror. It was really cool! Here is an example.
On some sites, it is tough to buy glasses, but checking out at GlassesUSA was a breeze. One feature I liked was the it gave me specific options for the types of lenses I needed and it would not allow me to put into the cart an upgraded lens that would not work with my prescription. That is cool.
The process too about 3 weeks to complete. My prescription is heavy so your shipment may be a lot quicker. I did receive emails during the processing so I new when they were completed and then when they were double checked and verified as well as the final shipping info. I think they look pretty good. My Hubby really likes them too. The good part is that the lenses are clear and I can see very nicely.
