I wear my sunglasses at night...

[If you don't care to read my ramblings about eyeglasses and prescription sunglasses...you can just scroll to the end of this post for an eyebuydirect.com discount coupon code] ... I have had my funky little glasses for about 3 years now. I kept putting off getting new frames because I still get so many compliments on these...

 

But, it's time (and I needed a new prescription with, ehem, bifocals 8-). I searched around with the help of Thing 1 (who is awesome at picking out eyeglasses frames...she chose the ones above and promised I looked good in them since I couldn't see a darn thing when trying them on!) and settled on these...

BUT! New glasses...new dilemma. With this pair of glasses, I opted not to get the darkening transition lenses since I wasn't all that crazy about them on my old pair. They didn't get dark enough for me and they didn't get dark at all in the car and I really didn't like the way they looked dark anyway. So, now I needed some kind of sunglasses. I decided to visit my trusty old standby ... www.39dollarglasses.com . I have used them several times and have always been happy with price, selection, quality, etc. Well, when I added everything to my order the total was over $70 just for a pair of prescription sunglasses! Back to the drawing board. Search, search, search. I happened upon Eye Buy Direct -- www.eyebuydirect.com ... WHAT?!? A complete pair of glasses starting at $7.95?!? Too good to be true, right? Wrong! A quick interweb search resulted in some good customer reviews...yes, I know they could have been planted, but for that price I was willing to give them a try. A few minutes later, I found some cute frames, tried them on...yes....you read right....I TRIED THEM ON with their awesome EYETRY NOW feature. Upload your photo and actually see what you will look like in the eyeglasses before buying them! They didn't offer an option to darken the lenses like sunglasses, so I saved the photo, imported into PhotoShop and colored the lenses myself ;)

Choices made, order entered, the total (including shipping!) was a mere $13.80. Impatiently, I waited for my new sunglasses to arrive. About a week later, they were sitting in my mailbox. I ripped open the box and put them on. AWESOME! I love them! I haven't had cute sunglasses in years. Happy me!
