Simple. Get an eye exam for a current prescription. Already had an exam? Great! Visit or call your optometrist and ask for a legible prescription. Legally, your doctor must provide you with a written copy of your prescription. Next, pick out your desired frames at www.glassesUSA.com, submit your prescription via our online form, or just send it to us via Fax / email and then pay for your item.
Allow time for your glasses to reach your front door!
Our experience
As you know, I have a family of six! My wife, my four kids, and myself all wear glasses! Talk about expensive. When the six of us show up at the eye doctor for our yearly exams and new glasses the doctor starts picking out the color of the new car she is going to purchase with the money she is going to make off of us LOL… but, really it isn’t funny, right?
Plus, it always seems like the eye doctor doesn’t have a very large collection of frames to choose from. I am then stuck with a pair of glasses that I “kinda like”… not cool, especially when they cost so much.
So, since five of us already had new glasses, it was decided that my daughter Destiny would be our guinea pig! It was actually a lot of fun!!! GlassesUSA.com has this very cool feature called the “virtual mirror” which allows you to upload a picture of yourself or take a picture using a webcam so you can see what the frames look like on you! It was really cool “trying on” on the frames. I got many, many eye rolls from my daughter that night!
Destiny wanted red glasses, so she chose the Natalia. The best part is they only cost $44.95 and the price INCLUDES the lenses! That’s right, a full set of single lens prescription glasses for only $44.95! If you want polycarbonate, the most impact resistant, it is only $49 more. My eye doctor charged $75 for this!
Destiny’s new prescription eyeglasses look great! She did not want her picture taken and I have to respect that. I wish you could see how cute she looks in her “asian inspired glasses”. The virtual mirror did a great job of letting us know how the glasses would look on her. She is very happy with the product! Quality wise, you can’t tell the difference in her $44.95 glasses from GlassesUSA.com and the $400 eyeglasses from the eye doctor.
There are many designer frames to choose from. You can also choose to have tints, progressive lenses, sunglasses, plus many more options.
