7 Reasons Why You Should Buy Glasses Online

Nov. 9, 2015
Leading online eyeglass retailers cut out the middleman by having their own in-house laboratory, so all the costs for internal shipping, production and resources are saved.

There used to be a time when eyeglasses were only accessible in retail stores. You’d have to book a morning off work, run over to the store, try on 10 pairs, and whether you were satisfied or not, buy a pair. Often you’d be left paying between $300 and $800 for a single pair you’ll wear for 3 years. Add a five-piece family and you’re looking at well over $1500.

What if there was a safe, secure, and inexpensive way to resolve this issue? 
Keep reading and find out the top 7 reasons why you should be buying your glasses online.

  1. You’ll save up to 70% on prescription eyeglasses.

How are online eyeglass retailers able to offer the exact same frames, brands, lenses, and treatment as retail stores for 70% of the cost? What’s the trick?

It’s simple. Leading online eyeglass retailers cut out the middleman by having their own in-house laboratory, so all the costs for internal shipping, production and resources are saved.

GlassesUSA.com doesn’t pay retail rent, so you don’t have to either.

  1. You can expect the same top quality.

Buying glasses online from a leading eyeglass supplier will provide the exact same treatment, options, lenses and frames. This also includes high-quality Progressive, Bifocal, Multifocal, and Transition lenses.

  1. Online retailers don’t work on commission.

Shopping for glasses online has become more convenient than ever. You can virtually try on as many pairs as you want and deliberate for as long as you need, all within the comfort of your own home. With us at GlassesUSA.com, there is no need to make small talk with persistent sales clerks or feel self-conscious in front of a mirror. You also don’t need to worry that you are being “upsold,” since online stores don’t work off commission.

  1. Bigger selection online.

Leading online eyeglass stores can showcase over 1500 frames on a single site from classic styles to top designers— a number unmatched by “Brick and Mortar” retailers.

Keep in mind quality can vary! If you are not purchasing from a leading online site, you may find frames for around $6. This is unusual, as it hardly covers the cost of materials. In this case, quality will most likely be affected.

  1. You can try them on.

Leading online sites with a virtual mirror will give you a better idea of how you’ll look in your new glasses by uploading a forward-facing photo. Some sites also have virtual stylists that will video chat with you to find a look that fits just right.

  1. You’ll have reliable customer service.

The top online retailers will have a customer service team available by chat or phone, to solve any issue you’re experiences before, during or after purchase.

It’s recommended to use Google and customer-rating sites like BizRate to compare the quality and service of various online retailers.

  1. Shopping for glasses online is safe, secure and fast.

Most online retailers use a safe and secure checkout process. How can you tell if the checkout is secure? Look for a lock icon or HTTPS in the upper left hand corner of the search bar. Today, customers expect a secure checkout process, 365-day warranty, lowest price guarantee, and free returns.

Not to mention you’ll receive your glasses faster than many offline stores! Glasses ship within days and in many cases shipping is free.

So if you’re thinking about getting glasses, go online. It’s just a click away.
