Giveaway & Review: Eyeglasses from EyeBuyDirect.com ! (CLOSED)
When it comes to saving money, I think you all know I don’t limit myself to groceries and beauty products. I try really hard to get the best deal on everything I buy: furniture, clothing —even new tires! So please understand when I tell you I’ve found a deal on something – I mean it!
So my darlings, have I found a great site for you! Please let me formally introduce you to my new friends at Eyebuydirect.com! Check them out-- I swear they will be your new source for eye and sunglasses! (Non-prescription glasses too!)
This review is two fold - a few weeks ago the wonderful people at EyeBuyDirect sent me a pair of their eyeglasses to try out. At the same time - they were running a buy one pair of eyeglasses, get a second pair free promotion. We ended up ordering DH his own two pairs of glasses - at a final cost of around $83 shipped! Now DH and I have two very different prescriptions. His prescription is about twice as strong as mine - which means, typically, eye glasses are very expensive for him because he always has to upgrade to the thinnest lens grade. This means that anytime in the past when we've gone and priced out glasses for him - they were $200+!!! With EyeBuyDirect, he was able to buy a pair of the Ryder frames for $24.95 and upgrade all the way to the "Ultra Thin" lens (3 steps up) for that $83!!!! Oh yeah, and receive a second pair of glasses completely free!
For me, I have a light-medium-ish prescription but it's bad enough that I cannot see much at all without glasses or contacts. The style I received, "Orbit" (above), is great! It's a semi-frameless and very lightweight style that was classic but still fashionable. (Unfortunately the Orbit is not currently available.)
Recently, while talking with a friend about ordering glasses online she seemed concerned that the glasses would not be fitted to her face. My Orbit frames, and my husband's Ryder frames, both 'fit' us perfectly. (Prior to ordering, we also measured the size of our previous eyeglasses and compared to the sizes listed on the web site.) This is also where one of EyeBuyDirect's best features comes in: One of the coolest features of EyeBuyDirect is their "Eyetry" feature. You upload a photo of yourself and you can virtually 'try on' any lens on their website. Check me out here rocking the Holly!
And if for some reason you get them and they aren't what you're thinking -Eyebuy direct offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee - no questions asked!
DH and I loved the convenience of ordering online, and having the glasses shipped directly to our door was awesome! No hassle, no pushy sales clerks, and no hidden fees! Everything was priced out feature by feature so you could really tailor your glasses to fit your needs (while keeping your budget in mind)! And each pair of glasses comes with a free case and cloth!

'SWAK!' I am SOOOOOOO going there - we really could use this! Our new insurance covers little. Thank you!
I could definitely use this, it's been 3 years since I got a new pair of glasses, thanks so much for the chance!

I really need some new frames. I have had my current pair for the last 7 years. I think it's time for a new pair, I just haven't wanted to spend the money. I like the Magdalena in Gun.

I think the Flame style would look good on me. I could desperatly use a new pair of glasses since my rx is like 5 years old and I get a headache everytime I wear them. Maybe a new style will convert me from a contact lover to a frame lover....
I've also been a subscriber for a while now too!
love the carmen style

I feel kind of bad entering because I have fairly new glasses, but I'd love to have a pair of rimless glasses since my others have thick, dark plastic frames. Anyway, I'd get the Eyre.
I like the Goal frames.

I could so use this! My favorite is the Sake (I think...I'm so indecisive!).
I think my favorite frames are the "Aeneas". I haven't "tried them on" yet! What a cool feature!
My daughter broke my glasses about a year ago and I haven't been able to replace them. I've been wearing contacts but I'm always nervous about not having a backup. I can't see without them!
I like the Suade frames. I could really use new glasses, mine are 8 years old!!

favorite eye glass style: Laurel
I can't believe how affordable these glasses are! I've been wearing the same 300.00 pair for 5+ years from Canada, they sell cheap glasses too but not this cheap! My lens are so scratched up that people often tell me to clean them b/c they look dirty.
