Whether you wear eyeglasses or not, heading to the optometrist to have your eyes checked every year is essential. Doctors check for more than just vision loss, you know? During those annual appointments, an optometrist is also monitoring the overall health of your eye, so if you haven't been in a while, it's time to add that to your to-do list.
One thing you don't need to do at your annual eye exam? Feel pressured into buying pricey frames and lenses at the front of the doctor's office. The convenience may be tempting, but buying your prescription eyeglasses and/or sunglasses online could save you serious money.
One of my favorite places to score stylish, durable, high-quality glasses online is EyeBuyDirect. Right now, you can use code ITK30* to save 30% on your order of $65 or more through Oct. 15. The frames at EyeBuyDirect are already really affordable, and this code will drop the prices even further!
I actually have six different styles from the retailer — that's how good they are. As someone who has spent hundreds of dollars on designer frames with lenses with all the bells and whistles from an IRL store, I can tell you hands down that the eyeglasses and sunglasses you can buy online at EyeBuyDirect are just as good (if not better).
Of course, buying glasses online can feel daunting if you've never done it before. After all, you want to know the glasses will look good with your face shape and skin tone before you commit. Fortunately, EyeBuyDirect has several different options that make choosing the right style for you easy.
First, there's the virtual try-on tool, which is what I always use. While some virtual try-ons don't really give you an accurate rendering, EyeBuyDirect's tool is top-notch. Just make sure you upload or take a picture of yourself with good lighting, and you can get a good sense of how different glasses will look on you.
If, for some reason, you order a pair of frames you ultimately don't love, EyeBuyDirect has an amazing return policy. If you're unhappy with your purchase, you have three months to request a return or exchange, and you can manage the entire process in your EyeBuyDirect online account.
If you're wondering why I have six pairs of eyeglasses, it's because I think of them as accessories. I like to switch them up depending on my outfit, and shopping at EyeBuyDirect makes it easy because the prices are so affordable. I don't think I've ever paid more than $100 for eyeglasses from EyeBuyDirect, and that includes lenses that are extra thin and treated with a coating that protects my eyes from blue light. I don't know about you, but I've never been able to get a pair of prescription eyeglasses in an actual store for this price.
Right now, EyeBuyDirect has more than 1,800 frames to choose from for women, men and children. When you're shopping, you can sort and filter the options based on the size of the frames, the color, the shape and more. Check out a few of the brand's most popular styles below.
