I just recently tried some on and know the basic shape that works best for my face. If you’re not sure what style of frame to go with or what looks good on you, I recommend going into an eyeglass store and trying on a bunch of pairs. I actually ended up selecting this funky purple pair of glasses because I wanted to try a new color. I could have purchased more than 10 pairs of glasses from for less than what I spent on that one pair of glasses!Īt those prices, I can see buying several different pairs to match different outfits. The total for one pair of glasses with the same exact add-ons cost $600.00! I opted for frames that were a little on the expensive side at $200, but the lenses were $99 each (multiply that by two because I have two eyes!), the anti-reflective option was an additional $150, and then there were a couple other small add-ons and taxes.
My total was $48.90! Now let me put that into perspective… I also just recently purchased a pair of prescription glasses locally (without insurance). I chose single lenses of standard thickness, with anti-scratch, anti-reflective/anti-radiation, and UV coating. The add-ons were also extremely affordable. I was able to enter my prescription for each eye, and select any add-ons that I wanted. The checkout process was very clear and took me through each step. The website was very user-friendly and easy to use, which was also a plus. The first thing I noticed were the very reasonable prices… the frames appeared to all be under $50, and that price includes single-vision lenses. I spent a little while browsing the website. I hesitated to respond for a while because I wasn’t sure if the topic of glasses would really be a good fit for Chickettes, and I was also a little skeptical about picking out frames online without trying them on in person. I checked out their website and saw that it was an online, mail-order prescription eyeglass service. Coincidentally, a rep from reached out and asked if I would be interested in trying their service and writing a review. I recently found myself without vision insurance, and needed new glasses because my prescription changed.
