I received an email from GlassesUSA.com a few weeks ago about whether I would like to review a pair of glasses from their website. Since I don’t need glasses anymore {I had Lasik performed about 3 years ago}, I asked whether I could try out a pair of glasses either with no prescription or a pair of non-prescription sunglasses instead. I actually had been wanting a pair of new sunglasses for awhile now as my previous pair {that I bought off a mall kiosk for $10} I’ve had for almost 10 years and have gotten bent out of shape recently. I was so happy when GlassesUSA agreed to my request!
First, a brief background on GlassesUSA.com. GlassesUSA is a company that’s dedicated to the highest quality prescription glasses and sunglasses at affordable, everyday prices. After all, seeing properly shouldn’t be a luxury – it should be a necessity. These guys partner with some of the best labs in the world and pass the savings on to their customers! They have 2 offices: one in New Jersey (headquarters) and one in Israel. Glasses are produced in both locations and they ship worldwide.
GlassesUSA has quite the selection of eyeglasses. If you’re skeptical about just how affordable a pair of glasses can be, check these out:
What’s amazing is that the price isn’t just for glasses frames, but frames and lenses too! Cheap glasses are finally a reality. You seriously cannot beat $38!
Their site is super easy to navigate. I love all the different ways that you can filter on glasses and each picture is loaded with useful info. For me, I started searching around initially for some “nerd glasses” and was so surprised to even see that it had its own category!
And if you’re wary about buying glasses without trying them on beforehand, they site has a super cool Virtual Mirror feature where you can upload a picture of yourself and it’ll superimpose the glasses on top of your face. Here are some pictures of me when I was “trying on” some nerd glasses {don’t laugh!}:
Alternatively, if you’re in need of prescription sunglasses, I am actually really impressed with their sunglasses frame selection! So many modern styles to choose from, including those that don’t even look like your wearing prescription glasses at all!
GlassesUSA has also graciously offered my readers a 10% discount with code Blog10.
And, they also have a few other specials that you can take advantage of:
- Take 20% off any order of $100 and get free domestic shipping within the US. Code: FS20
- Get a second free pair of glasses on any order of $120 or more. Code: 2ndPair
- Free shipping on ALL US orders. Code: freeship
- Additional 8% rebate via Mr. Rebates too! (referral link)
If you’re in need of glasses or you’re just eying those cat-eye sunglasses above, you better jump on this deal! 🙂

They're so mod, Kileen! I like how they look with the bun.
I'm also really interested in hearing about your LASIK experience. I've worn contacts for over 10 years and have been having lots of problems with them recently so I've been thinking about getting a consult.

here's a quick rundown of my lasik experience. i had really bad vision before (-7.50 in each eye with a severe astigmatism and dry eyes). i had been wearing glasses since 2nd grade and got to the point where my contacts were causing too much dryness and irritation in my eyes that it was making my eyesight worse as a result (docs told me i had to go to toric hard contact lenses which were supremely uncomfortable). i got 3 consultations for my lasik surgery (1 said no, 2 said yes) and several exams performed. in the end, i ended up going with the Allegretto Wave Custom lasik procedure at Mann Eye Institute in Austin, TX (where I lived at the time). The whole procedure was completely painless and quick (done in <30 seconds) and I fully recovered within a week. i have no side effects, 20/25 vision and my dry eyes are significantly better.
i'm a software developer so i sit and stare at a computer all day to write code. my eyes were originally causing me headaches by the end of the day but after my lasik procedure, i can honestly say that i don't have headaches caused by eye strain anymore! the procedure was expensive (almost $5000 in my case), but i used my Flex Spending Account from work and Mann Eye had a 2-year interest free promotion that I took advantage of as well. in the end, it was an investment but definitely one of the best investments i've made in my entire life. hope that helps!

Thanks for this, Kileen! My eyes are almost as bad (-7.00) and I've been suffering from GPC for the past two years which has put me off contacts for months at a time. Hearing your story, as well as those of other people I know who have done the surgery, has encouraged me to actually go for it this time. I'm so excited!
Kileen says
Hooray! I would say definitely get multiple opinions about whether you're a good candidate and do your research. I would say the technology is so advanced these days that if they could fix my eyes, you're probably ok. I did pay a pretty penny for my procedure, but I wasn't gonna go cheap on my only pair of eyes…
