I should have known that my Transition lenses would not be a good buy when they were the only glasses in the store that did not come wtih a warranty. I was trying to save money and cut down on lost glasses, and buy one pair of Transitions instead of a pair of glasses and a pair of sunglasses. My eyes are very light-sensitive and I need to wear sunglasses to drive on most days, even if it is ove...

I wear Dr. Dean Edell readers for reading upclose fine print. I pretty much can't do without them with my contacts. I keep them on my head most of the time just like sunglasses. I wear regular glasses at home but refuse to wear regular glasses in public. I like contacts and see great except that fine print. That's where Dr. Dean Edell readers come in handy. Walmart has various  des...

EyeBuyDirect.com has a large variety of frames and options.  You can get UV coating, tints, sunglasses, goggles, safety glasses, etc.  You can get simple single vision spectacles custom made to your prescription for as little as $20 (including shipping). I recently bought two pairs of eyeglasses.  One pair was from a large eyeglass store in a shopping center and cost about $260.&...

I normally wear contact lenses, but because I have a stigmatism, I have to use reading glasses to see close up while wearing the contacts. I purchased my first pair of reading glasses from my eye doctor.  I paid over $80 for a pair of wire rimmed glasses that broke after only a year of use.  I decided to try the reading glasses I saw on display at the Dollar General sto...

Today I got my new Glasses and Boy Is it nice to see again. For months now, I have been needing new glasses so I went to costco to get my eyes checked WOW I needed glasses. My Dr was really cool he was thural and very nice, at the end of my exam I walked out to the counter where you choose your frames and the employees were so nice and helpful, it was MY pleasure paying $250.00 for two pai...

Pinhole Glasses are quite controversial:  They may or may not cure nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.Pinhole Glasses are worn like traditional glasses, but rather than having glass lenses, they have an opaque surface with many small holes in them.   Pinhole Glasses almost always provide enhanced vision when you wear them - this is based on the same principle which ...

I keep insisting that I’m going to get by for reading with glasses from the drugstore. So far, so good. I spend maybe $20 a year to keep myself in specs.  I’m really good at breaking them.Like just about everything else I have a terrible time finding reading glasses that fit me.  I have a very small head, but a very wide nose bridge (broken 3 times now, but not lately, tha...

Well if you have read my review of Wal-Mart's Vision Center you know I don't think much of the place. However, there is one good thing I can say about this place and that is it's my opinion they make good lens cloths.If you wear glasses you know they are expensive and need to be taken care of very well so that the lens do not scratch. When I was shopping for something to clean my gl...

Just a warning to other consumers: I have used Wal-mart's Vision Center twice and this will be the last time I use them. The problems are: They are expensive. I spent over 400 dollars for one pair of glasses. The other HUGE problem is that they will only give you a two month guarantee on the glasses and it starts before you get the glasses if you pay for them in advance. They do not tell yo...

  After my cataract surgery I was delighted not to have to wear glasses anymore.  I really did need new sunglasses versus the clip-on type I had used for my glasses.  I wanted sunglasses that would cover not only the front of my eyes but also some of the sides to keep out the glare of the sun. I finally found a great pair of sunglasses that were larger than normal and then r...

I bought these DKNY glasses (ID# DY5555) in color, Gunmetal (#1003) from LensCrafters this year. While shopping, I found that I was most drawn to bold looks. Think: wild colors (red, pink, plum, opalescent yellow, etc.), innovative textures, unique frames and arms. Out of the many frames I plopped on my face, I ended up choosing these frames because they were not a color that would clash w...

My husband purchased these glasses when he knew he needed new ones. His old ones were no longer comfortable and old-fashioned, that’s why he wanted more modern ones. After looking at some options he had at the optician, he decided to buy these glasses from Giacoma Puccini Eyewear. These eyeglasses come in an elegant black box, and as always, they also gave the cloth for cleaning the lense...

I never would have believed I would be wearing a pair of "cheater" glasses as my family refers to the reading glasses you can pick up virtually anywhere from the dollar store to you local supermarket or drugstore.  After having cataract surgery and having my lenses replaced, I now have 20/20 vision in both eyes.  I used to be able to read the tiniest print without a prescrip...

When I bought my eyeglasses this past year at LensCrafters, I also bought a kit by iseries at the same time. I figured I would need something to keep my eyeglasses in good shape. They had this handy kit which included a spray bottle of cleaner, wipes and lens towels. I don't remember the exact price of how much the kit cost; there may have been a discount on it, since I bought the items&nbs...

When looking for the right glasses, it has always been a headache.  I never seemed to get just the right glasses to fit my needs.  I even tried contact lenses which was a nightmare I will never repeat. The last glasses I purchased have proven to be the best ones yet.  Frames * They have strong metal frames which are durable.  The are flexible without bending or dis...

Ray-Ban prescription glasses are my newest prescription of choice. I recently purchased these from Sears, they are my first new perscription in 4 years, it was definitely time for a change!I found these glasses to be my favorite after literally looking at 100 different styles, shapes and colors. These glasses are very flexible, they are perfect for a dad like me with little hands around that lo...

If you haven't heard of Hannah Montana yet you must live under a rock. She's everywhere! Any type of merchandise you can think of is safe to bet that it can be found with her image on it.A few months ago my daughter was prescribed glasses for reading. Of course the place we bought her glasses had some cute little pink frames that look perfect on her so she had to have them.Next we neede...

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 w...

I play basketball and need my glasses to see. At 6 feet 4 inches tall, I usually play center or power forward and am quite often elbowed or fouled in the paint. A Eyeglass strap designed for basketball or other rough sports were readily available in my youth but has become scarce lately. I checked out my local Walmart and Kmart and even some drug stores or other opticians. Of cou...

 I was a bit leary about buying glasses online as opposed to going to Lens Crafters. At first I had gone and obtained a pair at Lens Crafters and they were just a regular pair of non-transition glasses that cost me 181.00. I then went to 39dollarglasses.com and bought the transition glasses and quickly realized that the quality and fit were terrific and all for 88.90. I then retu...
