For those of you that have been around for awhile, you are well aware of all the issues that have been plaguing my Big Beautiful Brown Eyes. For those of you that are new, the short version is that I developed corneal ulcers and was told I could no longer safely wear contacts without possibly losing my vision or my eye. The choice was clear: glasses for me from now on. As luck would have it, I was contacted by GlassesUSA and asked if I would like to review a pair of their eyeglasses. Seriously, it’s like the Universe called them and told them I needed new stylish glasses. I couldn’t say, “YES!” fast enough.
Shopping for prescription eyeglasses can be a bit daunting and overwhelming, but since I was shopping from home I felt comfortable taking my time. I also found it extremely helpful that the website provides the dimensions of the glasses. I prefer a larger, bolder frame. If I’m going to wear glasses, then I want to make a statement with them. I decided to get these:
When the glasses arrived, I can honestly say that they were WAY nicer than I expected. I thought that because they are so reasonably priced that perhaps the quality would be lacking, but I was wrong. They are great! I love them and I have been wearing them since I got them.
I liked them so much that I actually went back as a paying customer and bought another pair of glasses online. The prices are great! The pair I bought for myself look like this:
I’m not as crazy about the ones I bought for myself, but that’s only because I like the other ones so much. These are nice, but don’t look as funky on me and I’m all about the funk right now. Still, I love having options.
You might also be interested to know that GlassesUSA donates all of their returned glasses to organizations that redistribute them to people who can not afford vision care.
Oh and in case you are wondering what I look like in my new favorite pair of glasses, here’s a picture (it’s not the best, but it will have to do):
I think they make me look like a sexy librarian with a paper bag over her head. What do you think?
