New Glasses!

I've been a contact lenses wearer for almost 20 years. As much as I like wearing contacts, having eyeglasses is still a must, especially as a mom. Glasses are perfect for: wearing at the hospital after having a baby, taking a 2 year old to the potty in the middle of the night, watching movies in the evening, and giving your eyes a break for the day.

A couple months ago I received the opportunity to try out new prescription glasses and lenses from Eyeglass USA. At first glance at their site, I thought no way could these glasses be decent quality- they're too inexpensive! Really, check out the prices- for $21.95 you can get new frames AND lenses. For only $9.95 more, you can add on anti-reflective coating. That's a lot less than at the eye doctor!

Being up for a challenge, (as well as in need of new glasses), I took Glasses USA up on their offer and picked out new eyeglass frames and lenses to try (and keep). When my glasses arrived, I tried the frames on. Not only could I see clearly with my new lenses, but I was also impressed that my $40 worth glasses and lenses were actually nice and much better quality than I had envisioned!
Still skeptical, I took my new glasses along with me to the eye doctor to get their opinion before I would write my review. They didn't have anything negative to say about them and said they'd make a good pair of second frames, (though I'm using them as my primary lenses).

If you're needing a back-up pair of frames for your diaper bag, or if you need everyday frames but can't afford $300 for new glasses at the optometrist, I recommend you give Glasses USA a try.

A couple tips before ordering glasses online:

*Try frames on at an eye glass store to see what type of frames flatter your face most. Take note on the size of the frames as well as the shape. Use this as a guide for what type of frames to order online.

*Make sure you order an anti-glare coating!!! My eye doctor's office said this is a must and I have to agree.

*Google the company you plan to order from and check for coupon codes.

*To receive 5% off your ENTIRE order at Glasses USA, use the coupon code: Mommy5. The code never expires!

*If you have any problems with your glasses, contact the company and let them know! Same goes for problems with contact lenses ordered online. Most companies offer a store credit. If you have need to send your Glasses USA frames back, they will actually donate them to organizations that put new lenses in them for people who can't afford them.

*The glasses I am wearing are the Charli Black Full Frames. They're very petite frames.

FYI:
In return for agreeing to write a review for Glasses USA, I received a free pair of Eyeglass Frames and Lenses with Anti-Glare Coating.
