Optical 4 Less

Now that I don't need glasses any more, I'm quite interested in finding out exactly how much my family has spent on spectacles over the years. I imagine that without insurance, we've spent well over $2,000 on glasses alone. That's quite a bit of money to spend on a second set of eyes. I'm betting it's actually more than that too, but nonetheless, eyeglasses are a needed accessory to millions of people in the United States alone and we're all spending a whole lot of money on a fashionable, and useful, pair.

If you wear prescription glasses you probably order them from your optomitrist, but there can be a cheaper method if you don't posses any, or at least good, insurance. Optical 4 Less.com offers a wide range of theLatest eyeglasses selections for a great discounted price. Whether you're looking for rimless eyeglasses, Alloy eyeglasses, hingeless eyeglasses, half rimless eyeglasses, or even Clipon sunglasses, you can find them at Optical4Less.

I used to wear bendable frames, or Titanium frames when I was a wee one and I think they're a fabulous form of specs. They're perfect for the kid that's either super active or just terribly clumsy like me. Over the years I grew to treat my glasses like a second set of eyeballs, so I stopped wearing titanium bendy frames and moved on to Plastic eyeglasses. Actually, my last pair looked a bit like this:



Of course, if you're familiar with my blog, you'll remember that I had a bit of trouble with those black plastic frames in that they broke 2 times on me last year. I suppose it must have been the brand, but I had to replace the stupid frame too many times. And since insurance only covered one set of new frames, I decided that the second time it broke I'll just use some older frames and get new lenses. Because a new frame would have run me upwards of $100, which isn't worth it when you consider that I won't even need my glasses in a few months. I suppose if I knew about Opitical4Less, I would have considered going through them, since a pair of prescription glasses cost as little as $15 (the pair that I posted the photo of costs $29) and comes with an anti-reflective coating, UV coating, colorful stylish case, and a cleaning cloth. Quite a nice package I'd say.

The only problem, in my case, would be that the frames take about 2 weeks for delivery, which doesn't help much if you're in a bit of an emergency situation. However, for everyday glasses ordering, 2 weeks is about average, at least at my optomitrist.

Optical4Less also offers an interesting, rotating, selection of Overstocked eyeglasses. For each pair of glasses they have a neat little area where you can preview the frames on your own face (by uploading a personal photo) or on somebody who has a similar face shape. To me this is quite useful, since when I try on glasses, I can't really see my face in the mirror, at least not without getting quite close to it. There's also a testimonal page which is great to hear real people's opinions and personal dealings with the company.

I'm really quite glad that I don't have to deal with ordering new frames each year, at least not for several years, but I wish this website was around earlier. I'm sure my family could have saved quite a bit of cash.
