I have had glasses since I was in the 6th grade, however I only need them to see distance, so I don’t wear them all of the time. My husband also has glasses. He has had his glasses since he was in the 7th grade, and his prescription is a little stronger than mine, so he wears his glasses more often. Our oldest son got his first pair of glasses when he was in the first grade. He has the worst prescription of all of us and has to wear his glasses or contacts at all times.
Recently our 11 year old son had to get his first pair of glasses. His prescription isn’t horrible, but he needs the glasses for seeing distance. We do not have vision insurance, so purchasing the glasses in the doctor’s office was sort of out of the question. What we like to do is look for glasses online in the comfort of our home and take our time picking them out. This way we don’t feel rushed and we have time to look at every pair and make a decision.
We allowed our 11 year old the choice in which pair of glasses he wanted. He chose the Wexford glasses from Glasses USA. (Photo above) I was always worried about ordering glasses online. It’s like buying new clothing online and not knowing how it is going to fit. Glasses USA eased my mind by allowing me to upload a photo to their site and try the glasses on! It really is pretty cool! Below is a photo of myself using the site to try glasses on.
There are several things I consider when I’m purchasing glasses. I like to make sure that they are a good quality product. I also like to make sure that they are affordable (I am a bargain shopper and have to be with a large family like we have). Fit is huge! I want the glasses to fit properly and be comfortable. Glasses USA provides me with all of this. I have peace of mind when ordering from them because I know we can try the glasses on (by uploading our photo to the site) before purchasing. The quality is great and if for some reason we do not love the glasses, or they do not fit properly, they have a 100% Money Back Guarantee.
The next time you are in the market for prescription glasses (or even sunglasses) we highly recommend you check out Glasses USA.
My 12 year old just outgrew his glasses, but my 9 year old needs them for distance now 🙂 I will check this place out when I need to order a new pair.
I used to be so bummed when someone outgrew a frame or had a prescription change and I had to purchase new glasses. I’m thrilled that I can get them online at an affordable price now.
Those are great glasses, he looks so handsome. I actually need to order a new pair and never thought to order online. I’ll have to check out Glasses USA
Thanks! We have saved so much money by purchasing our glasses online. It’s definitely worth looking into!
He looks so handsome in his glasses! You guys did a great job picking some excellent frames for him.
Thanks Stacie! He looks just like his Daddy now! 🙂
THAT is awesome! We have some glasses wearers in the family, and I love that we can order from GlassesUSA and still actually be able to “try” on glasses.
It’s a great feature and I’m so glad they added it to their site!
I think it’s pretty awesome that you can try on their glasses virtually. That makes it far more likely for me to try it.
Oh, I totally agree! I’m one that has to see something with my own eyes in order to know if I’m going to like it—especially glasses!
He really suits his glasses. I have ordered from GlassesUSA before and I agree they are an awesome place to get affordable frames.
He does, doesn’t he? Thanks! We love ordering our glasses online! It saves this busy mom a lot of time and money!
Those games losses look great. I remember when my daughter had to get her first pair of glasses.
Thanks! He actually doesn’t mind wearing them since he looks so much like Daddy! 🙂
The new glasses are looking good! It’s nice that it’s so easy to make sure the pair you pick is perfect on Glasses USA.
Thanks! It definitely is nice!
It seems like Glasses USA offers a hassle-free way of shopping for new glasses. We”ll be due for new ones this summer and I’ll be sure to browse their selection for our new glasses!
They definitely do! I love the money back guarantee and the ability to try on the glasses by uploading a photo.
These glasses look very sharp!
Your son looks great in them.
Thanks! And the best part is that he actually likes them! He was so hesitant about getting glasses, but he actually seems to like wearing his new glasses. 🙂
Loev these glasses! I think my son needs new glasses too. Thanks for sharing this!
You’re welcome! Glad we could help! 🙂
Such sharp glasses! I have 2 kiddos in glasses in our house! What a difference they make! He looks great!
Thanks! It definitely does make a difference!
I’m about to order new lenses & frames too. I had lasik surgery 12 years ago and my vision for distance has suffered since then.
So sorry to hear that! I hope you are able to find a pair that suits you well. Make sure you use the “Try it on” feature before making a purchase. 🙂
Your son looks very good in his glasses and reminds me of my son who has worn glasses for many years. I would love to try Glasses USA for our whole family it seems like a great service.
You should definitely check it out!
We do the same thing and love this company! It’s seriously so easy to use them as well.
I totally agree!!!
I remember the day I got glasses. It was terrifying but with the right frames, I felt confident. Getting the right frames can be pricey though so a company like this sounds right up my alley.
Oh, I know! When our oldest son got his first pair of glasses we paid well over $200 and that didn’t include the eye doc visit bill! I’m all about saving money—especially when I know I’m getting the same quality!
I used mine for distance for years. Now I’m starting to notice letters up close are not so crystal clear anymore. Yikes. 😉 Glad you got a good deal online.
Ugh! I hate how the aging process messes with our eyes! Thanks!
It’s really important that we take good care of their eyes. This website sounds like the best place to get prescription glasses from.
They look good on your son. I like the money back guarantee, at least.
Thanks! And the money back guarantee is great! 🙂
I wear glasses (near sighted in one eye, far sighted in the other, astigmatis) my husband wears glasses and honestly I am shocked my children don’t come out of the womb wearing glasses. I would love to try this site, since I am due for new frames.
I have purchased glasses online in the past & they were a lot cheaper compared to some I have purchased from optometrists in the past. It’s nice to hear about another online company. Thanks for sharing!
I buy all my glasses online I don’t think I’ve ever used this site tho.
I like the new glasses! I like ordering online because of the variety of frames. Paying out of pocket as well, it sounds like I should check out Glasses USA.
I have been getting glasses since I was in 6th grade. I will have to check out this company because everytime for the past few years I’ve been at Lenscrafters, there are fewer and fewer options I like.
