Disclosure- We received 2 pairs of prescription eyeglasses to facilitate our review but all opinions are 100% our own.
It’s that time of year again, back to school! As all parents know this time of year can get expensive with all the school supplies, new school clothes, and other items children need this time of year. In addition to everything else my girls need for school they always need new glasses so they can see the board in their classes no matter where they are seated. Every August I cringe at the expense of having to buy 2 pairs of glasses on top of all the other things my girls need for school. I am happy that I found a way to save money on eyewear for my family with Discount Glasses. DiscountGlasses.com offers a great selection of eyewear at affordable prices.

DiscountGlasses.com offers reading glasses, eyeglasses, sunglasses, and accessories. They have basic glasses with plastic lenses starting at $19.95! I even saw a pair of basic scratch resistant lens glasses for only $6.95! I love that we were able to narrow our search of glasses by only looking at the type we were interest in such as only women’s styles. We were also able to narrow it down by shape, color, price, and other options but I especially like that you can narrow your choices down based on the size and shape of glasses you already know fit you.
My girls had fun picking out the frames they wanted. DiscountGlasses.com offers 2 different ways to virtually try on their frames. You can choose from one of 10 virtual models to see what the glasses would look like on them or you can upload your own photo and virtually try the glasses on your own image. How cool is that?!?!
I’ll admit I was a bit skeptical about virtually trying on glasses but the whole process was really easy. You sit in front of your computer, click the button, follow the simple directions, and in moments the website creates a virtual model of you. My girls had so much fun using themselves as virtual models that I decided to give it a try myself. It’s amazing how you can drag the image of yourself to the right and left and see what the glasses would look like on you from all angles. Pretty awesome if you ask me. I don’t need new glasses for a few more months but I really like how this pair looked on me.
Ordering from DiscountGlasses.com was really easy, too. When you place the order you can enter the prescription information from your eye doctor or you can give DiscountGlasses.com your doctor’s contact information and they will contact your doctor on your behalf to get your prescription. The only thing we had to do ourselves was measure our girls’ pupil distances (also called PD). There is a ruler you can print right from the website and measuring was easy. It took about a week for the glasses to arrive from the date they were shipped and less than 2 weeks overall from the date we placed the order. Part of that wait time was DiscountGlasses.com waiting for the doctor to get back to them with the prescription so if you have your prescription handy I suggest you enter it in yourself.

Look at these 2 satisfied customers:
My girls love that DiscountGlasses.com offers Transition Lenses for an additional price so they can go from indoors to outdoors without needing an additional pair of sunglasses. As a parent this feature is worth every penny (only $69  more). If my girls had separate sunglasses it would just be one more item for them to keep track of, and let’s be honest, one more item for them to lose. So Transition Lenses really work for us.
