Unfortunately for both Big Sister E and Little Sister B, poor eyesight is almost definitely in their future. With both my husband and I dependent on glasses or contact lenses, I feel like only time will tell how long it is before we hear from a teacher or notice the telltale squinting ourselves.
However, with the huge array of styles, colors and overall coolness of glasses these days, they really aren't a source of unhappiness or teasing (does the term "four eyes" still exist on the playground anymore?) but rather are a hip, trendy, fashionable accessory for all ages.
The only problem? The price tag. The eyeglasses in the stores aren't cheap, so the thought of buying more than one or possibly two frames isn't something that's as often considered as, say, purchasing a new scarf.
Which is why finding glasses online makes so much more sense... selection, style, delivery right to your door and, best of all, huge savings! And it's all there at EyeBuyDirect.com.

As I began to browse through the extremely large selection offered, I immediately noticed that EyeBuyDirect gives multiple options for narrowing down the choices. You can limit the frames shown by gender, color, frame material,

By easily seeing only the size frames that are right for your face (based on the current frames you are wearing), you can happily browse the options that you know will look and fit best. EyeBuyDirect even gives you the option of trying their frames on online... which sounds impossible at first, but their Virtual EyeTry feature makes it quite simple. Just upload a photograph of yourself and start "trying on" whichever frames you like - how convenient!
After finally deciding (whew!), I was pleased with how easy it was to order my glasses. EyeBuyDirect clearly showed what the different numbers in my prescription were and where to enter them, as well as giving many options for my lenses or add-ons like tint or Party Glasses crystals (bling for your glasses).
Now to just sit back and wait for the fun and funky glasses that I had chosen to arrive.

Unfortunately, I didn't sit back for long as I received a very professional email from EyeBuyDirect the next day telling me that, due to my strong prescription, this frame wouldn't work with my lenses. Well, darn. I appreciated that the email gave a suggestion of a different pair that would work, however, they just weren't my style.
Sending back two more options that I liked, I crossed my fingers and hoped that one of them would work out for me.

Alas, no, neither of my choices would work either. My problem seemed to be that I needed to choose a rim that was round and not flat but I wasn't able to tell which rims were round from the pictures. Too bad my eyes are so bad! However, EyeBuyDirect was very nice about my issue and was able to list more options that would be available... and soon the BE-8047 were selected, ordered and on their way to me within days.



With the addition of online prescription eyeglass retailers, the days of having to spend a fortune on glasses are a thing of the past. EyeBuyDirect offers their customers a full pair of prescription lenses and frames at low prices, specialists who are optical experts to answer questions and inspect every pair of glasses, the convenience of shopping whenever and wherever is convenient and a 7-day full refund policy. They really have it all!
Plus, thanks to the generosity of EyeBuyDirect.com, one person will be able to see the world clearly and stylishly, because...
One lucky person will win a pair of prescription eyeglasses (frame + lenses) from EyeBuyDirect.com*!
