A Quick Guide To Buying Your First Pair of Glasses Online
Going out to pick out a new pair of glasses no longer has to be this big, expensive, confusing chore. Nah, not with the variety of online retailers that sell quality, affordable, & stylish glasses.
I used to spend a fortune on one pair of glasses & that one pair would be my only pair of frames that year.
However, since being introduced to online eyeglass retailers such as Phonetic Eyewear, buying glasses online is fast, fun, & affordable.
As long as your eye prescription isn't super complicated {bifocals, trifocals, astigmatism, etc} buying glasses online is easy if you know the following.
- Know & understand your facial features aka face shape.
- Have an idea of what eyeglass shape{s} flatter your face
- What type of lenses will you get? Non-prescription, blue light blocking, anti-glare, prescription along with blue light--the variety of lens options you add on at checkout changes the total price outcome at payment.
