I have ALWAYS worn glasses! I don’t even remember when my mom figured out that I couldn’t see distance, but it was definitely at a very young age since all of my school pictures are taken with me wearing glasses. It will probably come as a shock to you that I’m actually not fond of glasses. I wear contacts 90% of the time and that is because I have yet to find a pair of stylish AND affordable glasses that actually compliment my face.
I was recently offered the opportunity to check out EyeBuyDirect.com and I ordered a very chic pair of prescription glasses (Heart style in pink). Check them out:
Here is a little more information about EyeBuyDirect from the site:
EyeBuyDirect.com, the world’s leading online optical retailer offering full prescription eyeglasses for as little as $7.95. Their vision is “to empower vision for anyone, anywhere”. Forbes magazine recently dubbed EyeBuyDirect as “an efficient and easy-to-use prescription eyeglasses site, that provides fashionable, quality eyeglass frames and prescription lenses starting at only $7.95; significantly lower than the leading eyeglass chains.”
I never imagined I’d be ordering a pair of glasses that would sit on my face, for all to see, from a website without trying them on. But…they fit perfectly and they look amazing on me! The site has a service called EyeTry where you upload and image and choose the style that you’d like to try to see how they would look on your face. It’s as close to trying on a pair of glasses as you can get without going into a physical store.
Every time I’ve ordered a pair of glasses from my eye doctor, it’s a very long process with me trying and re-trying every frame in the store until I find the perfect one. This also results in me choosing the most expensive frame. I think it’s been at least 4 or 5 years since I’ve bought a pair of glasses and I plan on changing that! EyeBuyDirect prides itself on making online prescription eyeglasses an affordable reality for everyone. They guarantee you’ll save at least 70% on your new glasses (prescription eyeglasses start from just $7.95).
I have a little boy who loves to play with everything (including glasses) BUT his toys and because I’m not the most careful, quality was really important to me. The glasses I received are as durable as my present pair (which I have just retired to a drawer!) and they even come with a very cool clear carrying case and cloth to clean your glasses with.
The actual process of ordering was really simple once I had my prescription in hand (all of those numbers they ask for can get quite confusing). If you’re like me, you may need to learn how to read your prescription. The site has a step-by-step guide on how to buy prescription glasses online (ingenious!) including what you need. I followed the directions precisely and had no difficulty ordering or receiving my glasses. I was really fortunate to receive a few upgrades like Ultra Thin lenses, Anti-Scratch, Anti-Reflective, and UV coating. None of these upgrades made the lenses look any thicker (I don’t want to look like granny yet!). Overall, my experience with EyeBuyDirect was pleasant. Their prices are reasonable (even if you upgrade), the selection is comprehensive (ranging from simple and fashionable to designer-like), and the ordering process uncomplicated.
Be sure to check out their special deals page. Right now you’ll receive free shipping with orders over $99. Don’t wear prescription glasses? Any frame can be fitted with a blank lens for a smart, fashionable look!
Profuse thanks to EyeBuyDirect and the Family Review Network for finally giving me the incentive to replace these out-of-style glasses this review opportunity!
Win It! One of you very, very lucky readers will win a coupon code good for one free pair of eyeglasses of any sort (not including sunglasses and designer frames) including any upgrade up to $100 and 100% free shipping. Wow!!! Simply head on over to the site and take a look around. Come back here and leave me a comment with the name of your favorite frame. Comments will close on March 14, 2009 at 10 PM PST.

I like the MODO1
I was extremely surprised at the prices. This WILL be the place I get my next pair of glasses .
My glasses even with simple frames usually run quite high, between the progressive photogray (my eyes are sensitive to light), progressive bifocals (a little vanity here) and because the lightest lenses available that will still allow the use of the photogray (I’m very nearsighted), the glasses still ran a good 1/2 of what I paid for my current pair.
Thanks for hosting the giveaway.
I like the MODO1.
I was VERY impressed with the prices and this will be the place I get my next pair. The price was a good 1/2 of what my current pair cost and I never get expensive frames.

I like the Miami frames. Thanks!
I just found out I need glasses I have never had them before. I don’t have a clue how to pick glasses for myself I am guessing maybe the frameless ones would be best for me just so it would not be so noticeable at first 100.00 toward my first pair of glasses would be a blessing.
I like the Anna frame. Thanks for the contest.
Happy St. Pat’s Day!
Great site — thanks for introducing me to it! My favorite frames would have to be the Jigsaw 220C948 in silver/gray; really stylish glasses at a very reasonable price.
