Buying glasses is a costly undertaking. A new set of lenses and frames can easily cost $200 - $300. If you want designer frames, prepare to pay even more.
Shop online
This is the key to saving money. Today there are several online glasses companies. They save the overheard of a brick & mortar store. They operate cheaper, as do many online companies in general.
Check out your options
There are many online glasses options. You could try Frames Direct, Eye Buy Direct, 39 Dollar Glasses, or surf around and find another seller.
A few things to look for:
- return policy - Some sellers offer full returns if your prescription is incorrect. Some allow credits if you don't like the look of the frames. They all differ.
- shipping costs - These can vary too. They might not vary much, but it could make a difference.
- extras - Want anti-reflective coating? That will probably cost. Rimless frames might be an extra fee as well. Things like this can add up, so do your math ahead of time.
I wrote on another blog about buying glasses online. I highly recommend 39 Dollar Glasses for this. I just got my glasses, and they're great. The whole process was quick and painless.
