Eye health is an important part of overall wellness. Do you wear glasses? I started wearing glasses in the 4th grade. Truth is, I probably needed them long before then, but eye screenings before school entry were not standard practice.
When should you get an eye exam? Well, if you have zero vision or eye problems, the American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends that all adults receive a baseline eye examination at the age of 40. Some adults may need an eye exam sooner. Read this article to find out more.
For children, this is a good resource to follow.
OK, back to wearing glasses. In recent years, my ophthalmologist has recommended that I wear my glasses more to give my eyes a break from my contacts. I have been reluctant to do this because I haven’t really been pleased with the glasses I was wearing. I didn’t like to be seen in public wearing them! Truth is I only bought a pair of glasses about every 4-5 years because they were so expensive. Insert Eye Buy Direct.
I recently ordered 2 pairs of glasses (pictured above) from Eye Buy Direct and it was so easy and cost effective! I am so pleased with them and have been telling all of my friends. I am going to share all the details here!
I chose the November and The Bay frames.
Your choices here include: Distance, Reading, Multifocal, and Non-Prescription.
*If selecting an option requiring a prescription, your next step will be to enter your prescription. If you select non-prescription, you will skip to step 4. For your prescription, you will need to know right eye, left eye and pupillary distance. Find out how to measure your pupillary distance here.
Your choices here include: Clear, Blue Light Blocking, Sun, and Light Adjusting.
On one pair I chose clear and the other I did choose the blue light blocking lens. So far, I am loving the blue light blocking. I wish I had gotten that on both pairs!
Your choices here include: Standard Lenses, Most Popular Lenses, Advanced Lenses, Premium Lenses. I chose the Most Popular Lenses.
*If you have never purchased glasses from Eye Buy Direct, you will have to provide measurements for your frames. These measurements can be easily found on the inside arm of your current glasses. If you don’t have your measurements, Eye Buy Direct tells you how to measure here.
I have been very impressed at the quality of the glasses. Eye Buy Direct gets 5 stars from me!
*Eye Buy Direct does have a referral program. If you would like $10 off your first purchase, let me know! I can send you a coupon.
