When I took eye exams as a young child, I would always pass with 20/20 vision. I was proud of that and thought I’d have perfect vision forever. As I started getting older, my vision started to change. Sometimes I think it’s because of my excessive use of computers (glaring at the screen), two pregnancies, or just from getting older in general.
It’s best to visit your eye doctor on a yearly basis. Several years ago I was prescribed contacts and glasses for my no longer perfect vision. I had to accept that I would have to wear contacts or glasses for the rest of my life (unless I opted for Lasik surgery, something I’m actually afraid of!)
Eyeglasses can be very expensive. By the time you consider the frames, the lenses, and the special add-ons (anti-glare, etc.) this can add up, sometimes costing over $200. I allow myself to get a brand new pair of glasses each year at my annual eye appointment, but I don’t always want to pay the price that I see at the optometrists office. I wear my glasses most often when I am driving, at the movies, or watching TV. Because I don’t wear them all day, I’d like to stick with glasses that are inexpensive and usually very basic. I have owned four pairs of glasses in my lifetime and only have three of the four left. I like to have a few pair around–one pair to keep in my car at all times, one pair to keep at home at all times, and one in my purse to take everywhere with me.
I now resort to online eyeglass shopping for my eyeglass needs. I shop online for eyeglasses now because I find they are usually cheaper online. I have had great luck with shopping for eyeglasses online. If you are looking for eyeglasses online, you should visit Glasses.com. I like that they offer free shipping, price guarantees, and great customer service! They offer name brand frames at a great price. I have my eye on a few frames from their website.
I am currently looking into unique SPY sunglass styles because prescription sunglasses are on my wish list! With the summer coming up, I’d LOVE to have a pair of prescription sunglasses to wear outdoors and when driving! I don’t own a pair yet, but I think I will be placing my order soon so that I cam have them here before summer!
