EyeBuyDirect.com Review and Giveaway

I was recently selected to test the services of EyeBuyDirect.com. I primarily wear contacts, but I have been rocking my new glasses every since they arrived last week because I adore them.

I have really bad vision and usually get annoyed when I go to a brick and mortar store to shop for glasses. It seems like they either a) don't have enough frames to choose from or b) they rush me to the back to begin the exam and then expect me to choose frames after they've dilated my eyes and I can no longer see. With EyeBuyDirect, I didn't run into either of those problems. There were literally, hundreds of frames to choose from starting from just $7.95 including prescription lenses.

I was able to narrow my choices down to two and then got stuck. But that wasn't a problem, because I was able to try them on virtually using the EyeTry system and post it to Facebook to have my friends vote on which frames they liked best.

Photobucket

After choosing the Bourges frames, I selected options like thinner, photochromatic lenses. As well as anti scratch, anti reflective, and UV coatings all for under $100! My new glasses were made and shipped within two weeks and I couldn't be happier with the service I received. This was my first time ordering prescription eyewear online and I was pleasantly surprised by quality of both their service and products.

EyeBuyDirect.com has offered to give a $50 credit to one lucky reader! Here's how to enter:

I just bought 3 pair of glasses from eyebuydirect last month... I think its time for more!! Actually, I need a pair of Rx sunglasses for this winter, its very difficult for me to see well with snow glaring on the ground. I'd almost certainly use the gift card on the GLARUS frames - they're retro, cool, funky, a little nerdy, and just my style. Thanks!
