Awhile back I really started to notice that while driving at night my distance vision was getting fuzzier. It made things really hard to concentrate at times and I figured it was time to get an exam for eyeglasses.
So my hubby and I were talking and figured it was a good time for both of us to go see the optometrist. He needs glasses all of the time but I don’t. He called our regular optometrist and scheduled us appointments. Off we went to get our eyes checked.
It turns out that both of us needed new prescription glasses as our prescriptions had become a little more severe. Well with raising special needs kids and my staying home money is a little tight. The thought of spending $300 or more on glasses about sends me through the worry roof.
I had heard a lot however about ordering glasses online. So I thought I would give it a whirl. At Walmart one pair of single vision glasses for myself after tax would have cost just over $90 with some pretty basic frames. My only addition would have been anti-glare lenses with that night driving issue it is needed. Andrew on the other hand is getting older and needs bifocals. I could hear the cash register screaming feed me! No way was that happening. So out of the office we went with prescriptions in hand.
When I got home my fingers hit the keys and my mouse was clicking around trying to find the perfect pair of glasses. Well we found 3 pair. Mine are single vision and Andrew has a pair of bifocals and a pair of sunglasses coming. The total? We are getting all 3 pair with anti-glare for $93.75 and keep in mind those bifocals are in there as well. I can’t wait for them to arrive but with all the research I did (even asked the optometrist) I am confident in my choice to purchase glasses online.
