So you're in need of new spectacles but don't want to shell out $150 for a pair from Lens Crafters? Well, this is a blog post that will definitely benefit you!
Before you order from an online retailer, you NEED to make sure you have the following:
- A prescription no older than 12 months old (note: contact lens prescriptions are not the same!)
- Your PD, or "pupillary distance." Everyone's is different, but your optometrist will be able to tell you this.
- Any special instructions from your eye doctor (mine told me I needed a polycarbonate lens due to my eye conditions, so I had to look for that especially when ordering my glasses)
With all that, you're ready to start picking out your new glasses!
I ordered from two online retailers for a few reasons. The first being I haven't gotten new glasses in a while, so I was in desperate need of an updated pair. Aside from that, each pair ended up costing me around $30 each, so I really wasn't limited (my previous pair were part of a 2 for $88 deal) since I gave myself a $100 budget.
Let's compare the companies now, shall we?
