Prescription Glasses US – A Review

The purchase of prescription glasses online used to be the same. But not anymore and one such optician in the UK has opened his doors to online shoppers. It is now possible to buy prescription glasses in the UK! The bonus is, that the same eyeglasses available in high street opticians are also available online, for a fraction of the cost!

This makes saving money on prescription glasses for USA  residents much easier, cheaper and quicker.

Think about it. You can search for and find your ideal pair of specs from the comfort of your own home.

The amount of information provided is very detailed and step by step instructions help you all the way. Even if you make a mistake, you can easily send the glasses back for a refund or exchange.

Use your current prescription and enter the figures into the relevant fields.

If you have any questions, you can email or phone the company, and as they are in the same time zone, you are likely to receive an answer very quickly.

Postage time will be two days max in general if you live in the UK.

And it really is as easy as that. I bought mine a few months ago and have been very impressed with the quality and all the extras I got with them. I saved over €250 on them too.

The beauty is that they also ship overseas, making it very useful for expats like myself. So, I simply go to my local opticians, get my eyes checked, receive the prescription and then send it off with my order and a week or so later, I receive my new prescription glasses. What could be easier?

So, the simple procedure is:

1. Get your eyes checked at your opticians and make sure you get your prescription.

2. Click the link on my bio and get access to the retailer.

3. Choose your frames and lenses.

4. Enter your prescription details.

5. Place your order.

6. Wait a week or so and then you will receive your brand new quality specs at a fraction of the price.

As I say, I’m an expat living in France and I used this very same process. It took a little longer for me, as postage between the UK and France is around a week, but I can honestly say I am very happy with them and will use them again. Next time I may go for a pair of designer frames, as even these are cheaper to buy than normal glasses in the opticians!
