Affordable Eyeglasses

Eyeglasses can be expensive investments. Whether wanted or simply a necessity, eyeglasses really are important accessories to many people's everyday outfits that they cannot do without. Although contact lenses are considered more convenient and aesthetically pleasing, eyeglasses have made somewhat of a "comeback" in recent years as more fashionable eyewear, as the "intelligent look" is considered "in" at the moment. As anyone who has bought eyeglasses for themselves or for a family member knows, the price of an eye exam is usually much cheaper than the actual cost of the corrective eyewear that they need to purchase. While some pairs of glasses are available for around forty dollars, most of these styles of frames are not fashionable or desirable; the better looking glasses can cost well over one hundred dollars.

However, there is now an affordable way to purchase glasses that are both fashionable and functional. $39glasses.com offers just what they advertise-eyeglasses for just $39. Although some of their products are sold for higher fees, the majority of their basic eyeglasses are only thirty-nine dollars. These glasses are made with polycarbonate lenses, which ensure that the glasses are comfortably lightweight while perched upon your nose. (Polycarbonate is the material used in all children's eyeglasses and many adult versions, as it is both safe and comfortable). For less than $30, you can add in an anti-reflective coating to your glasses, but this is an additional fee to the regular $39.

While many people may be questioning the reliability and quality of this method of purchasing glasses, $39glasses.com is actually quite safe and reliable. The lower prices they offer are the result of the no overhead costs (such as renting a building space) benefit of running a store through a Web site; the lower prices are not the result of a lower quality of product. To ensure that your glasses fit you, you are required to submit your pupil distance (in millimeters); additionally, the company offers a "satisfaction guarantee" that allows you to return your glasses if they are not properly fitting. Your particular eyewear prescription is also obviously required before checkout, and it is conveniently displayed in much the same format that it appears on a basic eyewear prescription form.

Finally, in order for customers to have an idea of exactly how their glasses will look on themselves, the website offers pictures of each pair of glasses on models of varying head shapes. There are both female and male models, with head shapes ranging from oval to square to rectangular to diamond shaped. This way, customers can determine vaguely how a particular pair of glasses will fit their head shape and select a frame accordingly.
