Eyebuydirect.com Review and Giveaway ($100 pair of Rx Glasses)!

This giveaway has ended! Thanks for visiting!
With eyeglasses (frame and single vision lenses) starting at $7.95, you really can’t go wrong (you’ll add $19 for bi-focal lenses)! Although the selection may be limited compared to what you might find at an optometrist, there is enough selection to find something that will fit you and the prices can’t be beat (and they keep adding more all the time)! Although the selection available at $7.95 is limited, there are a lot of glasses available at $17.95! Visit EyeBuyDirect and take a look around!

I don’t wear glasses, so when I was given the opportunity to review the site and the glasses by EyeBuyDirect, we ordered them for my hubby! We had a lot of fun with the EyeTry tool! Although it was a little confusing at first to get his head the right size to “try” on the glasses, it does make it easier to pick out which frames will look best on you! There were a lot of options for the style of glasses he tends to like. His favorites were the Rome, Plasma and Strike (pictured in order below):

Here is my hubby trying on his three favorite men’s glasses. This first pic is the Rome in Gunmetal, the second pic is the Plasma in Bronze, and the third pic is the Strike in Gun. We ordered the Strike in gunmetal, and with his upgrades to his lenses, the cost was $71.85. We added anti-reflective, UV coating, and upgraded his lenses to Thin and Lite due to his prescription (you aren’t required to do this, but it is recommended for those with higher prescriptions to avoid the thick bottle look).

We only had one problem while completing our purchase at the site, but I have been guaranteed that they are aware of it – so what was it? The site checkout didn’t appear to be secure, so I used Paypal instead which worked perfectly (so what was I paying for? My hubby needed new sport goggles for racquetball, so we ordered those at the same time)! The glasses came about two weeks after we ordered them which I thought was very acceptable for the cost. In order to order glasses online, you will need your pupillary distance, something that is not always given on your prescription, so make sure you ask for it! My hubby says he really likes his new glasses. They were a little smaller than what we thought based on the “Eye Try” tool, but they are lightweight and fit him nicely!

So what does an $8 pair of glasses really look like? I thought this pair named “Nutmeg” was really cute!

Each pair of glasses comes with a free case, cleaning cloth, and anti-scratch coating regardless of whether you spend $8 or $100! Can’t wait to purchase? Enter the code IFFIMA3BIY during checkout to receive 10% off your order! This would be a great purchase for Father’s Day and each purchase comes with 100% satisfaction guaranteed!

Okay, onto the Giveaway! EyeBuyDirect wanted to give my readers the opportunity to try out their glasses too, so I will be giving away a pair of prescription glasses (up to $100 in value, excludes designer frames and sunglasses)! You will choose the frame and then add the options that fit you best and EyeBuyDirect will cover the cost up to $100! You will need your most recent prescription in order to complete your purchase!
