Out the Frame Style

If you’re lucky enough to be able to see clearly and don’t have the joy of picking out a second set of eyes for your face, you won’t appreciate the news I am about to share. If you are like me and have no choice but to wear glasses or contacts, you might be looking for new ways to get stylish frames.

I am always amazed by how many people who wear glasses don’t even know how or where to shop for them! I decided I had to share what I know. Trust, I got the blueprint for how to shop for the most inexpensive and stylish frames! Some of my favorite places to buy new glasses are: Zenni, Firmoo, Zeelool and Coastal. A few others I love are Voogueme (pretty sure they’re owned by the same Chinese company as Zeelool) and Eye Buy Direct.

And yes! These are real, prescription glasses, with your personal eye prescription for a fraction of the cost in optical stores. Each site is usually hosting a different sale throughout the year. This summer, almost each retailer had buy one get one free sales on top of clearance prices. I purchased 3 pair of sunglasses from Zenni for only $120 last summer. This summer, I purchased 4 pairs of eyeglasses for only $126 from Zeelool.

Now I bet you’re wondering how this works. Let me explain the secret every eyeglass wearer needs to know! You do not have to buy glasses from your optician. You can go to your home optician and get your eye exam and request your prescription. This is all you need when shopping around online for your new frames!

With or without insurance you can get an eye exam. It’s just going to cost you. The way I have gone about getting my exams for the last 5+ years is through the America’s Best Eyecare Club. It has been a lifesaver! At $99 for 3 years, or $139 for 5 years, you receive: FREE Exams for the life of your membership* ($400+ value) in addition to:

  • 10% or more off all replacement contact lenses**

  • 10% off all eyeglasses including designer frames in-store and

  • 10% off accessories in-store

Save yourself the time shopping around at your local optical store and shop online for the best prices and way more stylish frames.

These are some of my secrets to being a member the four-eye club I wanted to pass along since so many people ask me about my glasses. I hope this helps some of you find glasses you love! We shouldn’t have to feel less stylish when we simply need to SEE! As we like to say - “Ok, I see you!”
