FramesDirect.com

I have been buying eyeglasses for years and I usually end up getting them at my eye doctors office. This year I figured I would do something different. I found a pair I like at the doctors and tried them on to make sure they fit and looked at them on in the mirror to confirm they looked fine when I had them on fashion wise. On a side note it is amazing how sometimes you think something will look good on you but when you actually try it on it is the complete opposite. Anyways... the price was over $200 so I figured I would take a look online first before purchasing a pair since I don't have health insurance at the moment. 

I am glad I did as I found several eye glasses retailers that had significantly better pricing. I choose Frames Direct because they have been around a long time and their website looked profession with lots of frame selection. A number of reviews I also read online seemed to indicate they were the best option.

I don't particularly like cutting out my eye doctor from a purchase since I like the guy, but the price difference was too much for me to ignore. I found the exact same frames at Frames Direct within a few minutes of searching and had added my lens prescription and completed the purchase in under 20 minutes. By the following week I had received my glasses in the mail and they were just like the ones at the doctors. They fit fine and the prescription was correct.

I would purchase from Frames Direct again.

I purchased just frames with no prescription lenses on framesdirect last year because I wanted clip-on sunglasses and the optical brick and mortar store I used did not carry them. I ordered the frames a tad small for my head but with some slight bending I got them to fit fine. It was my fault as I knew the measurements was smaller than my last pair but things worked out so I chose to keep them. 

Once I got the frames I gave them to my optical store which got the lenses made and put in. This time around I am going to order my complete glasses from framesdirect. Their customer service is very good and I love the wide selection they offer. Plus it takes just one step and the lenses are cheaper their than my optical store. I also like having unique frames that you don't see all over our small town. 

I definitely recommend framesdirect. Just be sure you look at your frames and order the right size. ???? ????????

I used Frames Direct for the first time last year as a sort of test run. I order a pair of backup glasses choosing a frame that I liked and matched my measurements. Everything went great and the glasses fit fine (which was my biggest worry at the time). 

This year I found out I needed new glasses when I went to the optometrist so I went ahead and ordered 2 new pairs through Frames Direct. My insurance covered only part of my order since it was 2 pairs so I wanted to make sure I got the best deal possible. One pair also needed to be progressive lenses which are not cheap to make. The other pair I ordered was prescription sun glasses but just for distance.

Both glasses fit well again though the one pair the color of the frames online I thought were black but in reality are a dark navy. Not a huge deal since they still look good when I wear them.

Got a pair of new frames and lenses from Frames Direct last week. It is the first time I have ordered from an online glasses retailer and it worked out well. Just grab your measurements from your last pair of glasses and do a search on Frames Direct for those exact measurements. They can be found under the "More Filter" options on the search page. All glasses can be adjusted somewhat but I find the bridge is most important.

They have good selection and prices so you should be able to find what you are looking for. I would also recommend not buying the cheap lenses. Get the good quality ones. On the last pair I bought at my Doctors I got the cheap lenses. They where very easy to scratch and the lenses where pretty thick.

The price and selection is very good at Framedirect.com for both regular eyeglasses and sunglasses. The site is very professional and has lots of help in selecting the right type of frames. The only thing that worried me was not being about to physically try on the glasses first.

One suggestion I have is that Framesdirect could put some sort of system in place where they could ship you a couple of frames and let you try them on and then return? This way you could make sure the size fits your face and that they look good on you.

I got lucky that my new sunglasses look good and fit my face well, but it they hadn't I would have returned them and wasted a pair of prescription lenses.
