39DollarGlasses.com Review and Giveaway

I wear glasses, my husband wears glasses, and all three of our children wear glasses also.  I guess we just have bad eye genes in our family.  All those glasses get very, very expensive, as you can imagine.  Luckily we have excellent vision insurance, which helps a lot.  But there are still things that aren’t covered, and with five of us the cost adds up fast.  That is where a store like 39DollarGlasses.com is so useful – you can order prescription glasses online for a fraction of what you would pay in a retail store.

A few weeks ago I ordered glasses from 39DollarGlasses.com for my 15 year old daughter.  She recently started wearing contacts, but she still needs a pair of prescription glasses.  She was dubious about ordering glasses online at first.  Okay, she was actively against the plan, and annoyed I suggested it.  She assumed that discount glasses wouldn’t look good enough to satisfy her.  She still wears her glasses to school sometimes, and as a typical teenager is always concerned about how she looks.  So any glasses for her have to be trendy and not make her look out of touch with fashion.  However she reluctantly checkout the website and realized they had a nice selection of the semi-rimless glasses that are in style right now.  As you might expect these glasses cost a little more than $39, but the $69 price is still very reasonable.  So in the end she picked the Monterey eyeglasses with clear/lilac temple.

She liked the design on the sides of these glasses, since they have little rhinestones on the temple.  She also really wanted a semi-rimless look.  Ordering the glasses was easy, I just picked up her prescription from her eye doctor and filled out the form on the website.  A few days later she had her new glasses.  They look good on her, and you can’t beat the price.  We got a similar pair of glasses for my 18 year old recently, and the list price before insurance was over $200!

I’d never ordered glasses online before, and I was very pleased with how simple the whole process was.  The glasses arrived very quickly also.  I am glad I got a chance to try out online glasses ordering, since the price differential is so large.  The bottom line is my daughter would still have preferred to go to a store and try on glasses before she picked.  But she does like the glasses, and yes, she even wears them to school.  I am sure we will be ordering glasses online in the future, because it makes it much more affordable to get things like prescription sunglasses for the family.  If you need glasses 39DollarGlasses.com is offering one pair of prescription eyeglasses/sunglasses or non-prescription sunglasses (up to $75.00) to one lucky reader.  You can also use the coupon UPSTATE for 10% off any order.
