Fast, Cheap Quality Online By Bosoxy on - Updated Sep 18, 2011
I have a family member who needed a replacement pair of glasses. Coincidentally I had recently been hearing some very good things about 39dollarglasses.com.
While it is difficult to gauge the quality of a product online, the prices were incredible, plus I had a $10 discount coupon… That was enough to get me to try this company.
When browsing through the glasses I noticed that they have a way to virtually fit the glasses to a face that ended up being pretty accurate. When clicking into a particular glasses style there is a picture of a person on the right side of the page. Below the picture are shapes in boxes of pink, for females, and blue, for males. By clicking on a blue box with a square shape a photo of a man with a square shaped face wearing those exact glasses will appear. This photo allowed me to see approximately how the glasses would look on my family member.
I selected the Boston style frames.
The lenses come with UV and scratch resistant coatings, however additional coatings may be added. I was looking for sunglasses and selected the CR-39 tinted sun lenses, at the darkest tint level offered. The price for this option was an additional $9.95 on top of the lenses price of $39. I was then offered the option to chose between several colors of tint; brown, gray, green, blue, rose, orange or yellow. There is an option available to see what the different colors would look like in the frames. After trying all of the colors, I chose blue.
Then I could chose between the included hard clamshell glasses case or upgrade to one of several cool looking cases for an additional $4.95. I decided to go with the basic clamshell case.
Within a week of checking out on 39dollarglasses.com the glasses that I chose arrived. They were packed very nicely inside a micro fiber polishing pouch placed inside the clamshell case.
The lenses were nicely polished and the frames were of very nice quality, much nicer than I would have imagined. The fit was PERFECT! The glasses sat nice, felt nice and were at the correct strength, as ordered.
The average retail of the glasses that I purchased was listed at $234.95. Although I cannot say if this would be the price that these glasses would be sold for elsewhere, I can say that the quality of the glasses and lenses far exceeded the price that I was charged, which was $44.90 after discounts and including shipping. Can you believe it?!?!
I will purchase these or another type glasses at 39dollarglasses.com in the future, for sure.

WOW, what a cool tip. I know several people who would be glad to know there is an on-line place to get glasses for cheap.
Interesting. I didn't know it was possible to get perscription glasses for so little money!
Lucky you can find specs online. This is definitely a big NO NO for me since my eyes are too sensitive, a small degrees difference will make me giddy already. Glad that you are not like me. Thanks for sharing the info.
I am going to suggest this to my mother in law! She is constantly loosing her glasses and breaking them and they are on a set income..this could be very helpful!
What a great deal, I like that there's a virtual selection guide to assist you as well.
Great price. I will definitely will check this site out.
Pretty amazing. But I think glasses are very overpriced given the ease with which lenses can now be ground.
Thanks. My daughter just started wearing glasses and we spent way too much for her first pair. This sounds like a great place to pick up a backup pair.
