Buying your glasses and contacts online will save you big $$$s

Like most people who need new glasses or contacts, you are used to buying them from your optician or eyewear retailer. If we are lucky they might have what we want 'on special' - and let's face it, in today's economic climate, we are prepared to sacrifice style if it will give us some extra dollars in our pockets.

Now here's the thing - you can save a whole lot more money AND NOT COMPROMISE ON STYLE by purchasing your glasses, prescription sunglasses, bifocals, and contacts - online.

The savings are huge and when you purchase through reputable companies, there is no risk involved.  Their secret is buying power.  They are distributors for manufacturer's and wholesalers.  They do not have to pay for a shopfront, rent and rely on personal shoppers to help them make budget.

Because of their tremendous buying power, they are able to negotiate very attractive deals from contact lens manufacturers and frame suppliers.  Savings that they are able to pass on to their customers.

Designer Glasses - regular glasses, prescription glasses, prescription frames

For the many of us who are looking for glasses, purchasing at retail has meant compromising on the style we want because of the high cost of designer frames. Well not any more!  If the names Ray Ban, Bolle, Valentino, Gant, Harley Davidson, Diesel and Escada ring your internal 'expensive' bell, well its time to look online for your glasses. 

It's amazing just how affordable designer frames become once the retailers' markups are wiped off!

Contact lenses - big names, low prices

Contact lens wearers have for years had their choices limited by having to select from whatever brands their lens supplier stocks.  Especially in small towns, the choice is limited - if there is a choice at all.  There are just so many types of contacts from which to choose, and by ordering online, you will have the greatest possible selection at the best possible price.

Does your optician or relatiner have Bausch & Lomb, CIBA Vision, CooperVision and Johnson&Johnson - all of them, in stock, now?  Good online contacts suppliers offer 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Prescriptions

For any prescription eyewear, be it bifocals, multifocals, graduated lenses, prescription sunglasses and contacts you will need a valid prescription from your eyecare professional.  The prescription must not be more than 2 years old.

When ordering your glasses or contacts, there are two ways to send through your prescription information.  You can scan it and email it to the online supplier, or you can fill in the prescription details directly onto a form on the suppliers website.  As simple as that.

Shop when you like, where you like

Many of us lead busy lifestyles, working long hours, with pressures of family and careers taking up a huge chunk of our lives.  Waiting for service at a retailer during shopping hours can mean sacrificing your child's ball game or your deadline.

Being able to order your glasses or contacts from the comfort of your home or office can save you hours - and your purchases will be delivered to your door in no time.

Saving money and saving time - a great combination!
