Buying Discount Eyeglasses
Eyewear Online Cheap

buying discount eyeglasses eyewear online,spectacles,optometry,cheap prescription eyewear,opticians



Buying discount eyeglasses and eyewear online cheap is a cost savings reality! Approaching customers where they are, especially online, means greater opportunity for cost savings. The current economy and the ever growing daily number of computer users that are becoming more comfortable buying products over the internet can't be ignored.

I will help you by eliminating the confusion concerning buying prescription eyeglasses over the internet. My background as an educator and optician with over 30 years experience working with both Optometry and Ophthalmology, put me in a unique position to walk you through the whole process of ordering glasses online.

I'm featuring two really good optical web sites that I feel will provide exactly what this page is all about "Buying Discount Eyeglasses and Eyewear Online Cheap".

It would be confusing to try and put together a table comparing the pricing differences of the many optical web sites. Each online site will offer something different to the mix of options that make it more challenging to compare shop, so I have picked what I think are the "best of the best" optical online shops at the deepest discounts for you.

Read the section on "Basic Rx Eyeglass Online Requirements".buying discount eyeglasses eyewear online,spectacles,optometry,cheap prescription eyewear,opticians

Basic Rx Eyeglass Online Requirements

* Begin by having a copy of your spectacle prescription. Your eye doctor will provide this at the time of service. If you paid for the doctor's service, or are part of a third party plan than the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) states that you will be handed a copy of the prescription. It is a costly fine for the doctor not to follow the FTC mandate. If you are missing your prescription than simply call your eye doctors office for a copy.

* The distance between your eyes is referred to as pupillary distance or PD. The eye doctor usually does not include this measurement on the prescription form, so remember to ask for it at the time of the examination, or visit with an optician and ask for a PD measurement. If you are having difficulty obtaining a PD, I will show you here how to obtain this measurement using a mirror and an old pair of glasses...accurately.

* You can ask the optical shop that made your last pair of eyeglasses what the eyesize of the frame is that you are currently wearing, so you have a sense of what sizes online to look for. Your frame usually has these measurements written on the inside of one of the arms or temple pieces. I will send you to a page that will help you figure this out if you run into a road block with your optical shop.

* If you are not overly concern about lens thickness than order the basic lenses that come with the frame. Any site I suggest will walk you through the lens ordering, or you can contact me for any advice.

* In my own practice, I have always been willing to adjust and check the prescription glasses prescribed to them by one of the eye doctors in the office. Some patients have offered to pay a small service fee for adjusting the fit of the glasses.
