What’s this about “Buying Prescription Eyeglasses Online”? I must say it is crazy out there. Do you know how much prescription eyeglasses cost. My last pair bought from the optician I have been seeing for over hmmmm (I’m loyal) 20+ years cost right about $1000.00. Ok I don’t like to skimp on my eyes. I take it very seriously…that is one “doctor” I see every two years without fail, even though I have never had vision insurance or deduction of any sort. And…..being in the fashion industry I really wanted to wear eyeglasses that were fashionable and did not scream I PAID A SHIT LOAD FOR THESE!! That wouldn’t do would it…but ironically the I don’t really care look costs money. The ones before that with the lovely rose wood temples cost about the same, until they broke at which point I had to get both lenses changed (because they have the photochromic coating, so they get dark in the sunlight) That cost…ready ….drum roll please…$500.00 (I paid. I loved the rose wood, there was a touch of class to it you know) By now I’ve had my kids and these glasses where really not cutting it…because they broke again …so off I went to spend my $500 for new lenses to be fit in my rose wood frames. Keeping count are you? Well now I’ve spent $2000 on this pair. I still have them…in fact I have every pair I’ve bought pretty much. And I find most people who wear eyeglasses all the time have done just the same. You can’t just throw away something that costs so much money just because now they are a little out dated or the more likely scenario…the you need new prescription lenses. So I come to the main reason I’m writing this to you…I’ve come online to try buying prescription
glasses online. And you know what I like it! Once I get my prescription from my doctor or optician I’ve realized I can come online and buy eyeglasses for far, far less. Sure if I want to enjoy one pair of super designer brands or have my optician fit me for a pair I can do that (if I’m worried about fit and this is the first time I’m getting glasses; but I can really just use the best fitting sunglasses I have and go by those measurements). But as a lady in the fashion business…now, I can have different pair for each of my outfits. How’s that? Buying glasses online is so easy too..I guess the fear is always “what if I don’t like the pair?” or “what if something’s wrong this them?” Well you just return them. These days it’s a buyer’s market!
