How to sell prescription glasses online
Prescription Glasses Websites Compared! (and must know hacks for getting the best pair)
hey guys what's up I'm Christian Taylor
and today I'm gonna be comparing
different places to buy glasses online
so I'm sure it's no secret to you that
prescription glasses can be expensive my
very first pair that I got as a kid with
no frills or anything was about a
hundred twenty bucks I mean for plastic
really I mean think about it most frames
are plastic ones they're plastic 120
bucks for plastic Wow
so I started researching different
places online to buy glasses and I came
up with four great options that are
popular and specialize in different
things now the first sight is I buy
direct now I got these frames for about
40 bucks on I buy direct and I am very
pleased with them that $40 includes an
anti blue light coating and these frames
have spring hinges yeah a lot of bang
for the buck they fit perfectly they're
super stylish and I am a big fan now I
buy Direct has pretty much what every
other site has with selection and
options but where they specialize is
customer service guys I cannot say
enough good things about their customer
service
I ordered pair of glasses and they have
a 14-day return or exchange policy and
after about three weeks I decided I
really didn't like the glasses they just
were not a fit for me
they were squeezing my head and they
hurt so I told I buy today I know it's
outside of the return window but can I
please return these and exchange them
and they said absolutely no problems
we'll take it and for that reason I can
definitely recommend I buy direct if you
want the best customer service around
and these glasses well they're my top
two favorite glasses I've gotten from
these
now next up is glasses shop and I'm
going to tell you a little bit of a hack
if you want to wear sunglasses but you
well you don't have contacts
prescription sunglasses and they're
cheap too you can get a tint on regular
eyeglasses at most websites for five to
ten dollars I got these on glasses shop
last year for $25 and they're working
great my prescription is perfect like
all the websites I ordered them on and I
really love these glasses I mean they've
got spring hinges they're really
high-quality and twenty-five bucks now
they're not the most fancy or sturdy and
definitely my ones from I buy direct or
a little step up but if you're looking
for bang for your buck if you're on a
budget I would recommend glasses shop
okay what do we got next
Zen II optical Oh whole this site makes
them darn good glasses now as any
optical is on the higher end of the
price spectrum these glasses retail at
$70 so they're not cheap for that price
point you are definitely getting close
to just buying prescription glasses from
your eye doctor however I will say that
I really love these glasses they are top
of the line in quality above any other
pair of glasses I've received from an
online website and for that reason for
durability and the highest quality
glasses I would recommend xeni optical I
also want to point out that xeni optical
tends to upsell less it's a bit of a
difference in model most places you
start up cheap on the prices and they
keep upselling you xeni takes a
different approach and they include a
lot of things but their base price is
more expensive so it's a trade-off
okay last in kind of least is firm
ah firm ooh I don't know how I feel
about this site so I got some glasses
from them they sent them to me to check
out and they were funky I'm not even
gonna bother showing you what they look
like on me because they just don't look
flattering however this was their second
try they sent me another pair that I
picked out
and the they're okay you know they're
just kind of mediocre I mean the the
frames are pretty sturdy but then not
the most story and the prescriptions
alright but I you know I just don't know
how I feel about Fermi but I just I
think they can do some improving in all
areas I think there are a Chinese
company so their customer supports a bit
hard to work with because it's all like
broken English and I don't know I guess
it's like a runner-up to glasses shop
it's definitely more on the value side
but firm ooh he's not really doing it
for me
okay so we've compared all the different
places to buy glasses you want best
customer service go for I buy direct
best overall quality gophers any optical
best bang for your buck go for glasses
shop but what are some tips and hacks
that you can use at all of these
websites number one always get the
anti-reflective coating now they're
gonna try and upsell you they're gonna
say hey for five bucks more you can get
this anti-reflective coating it is
tempting to turn it down but you don't
want to why let me just tell you these
glasses have the anti-reflective coating
and you can see light still glaring this
is the improved thing with the coat I
mean can you imagine no anti-reflective
coatings you're gonna be miserable
there's gonna be glares do yourself a
favor and pay the five dollars number to
fit the little numbers inside the frames
of your glasses if you have current
prescription glasses that fit you pay
attention to the
you want to make sure they fit well and
trust me I know it may be tempting if a
particular frame you like is
significantly smaller or larger but you
are taking a risk I've gotten some
glasses online that are just they don't
fit and I kind of knew that when I
ordered them but I did it anyway because
I really wanted that and
it just didn't turn out number three and
this one is very important you want to
make sure they have a stabilizing metal
bar and the arms your public English
please okay well in glasses most of your
prescription ones you buy at the eye
doctor they have this stabilizing arm
you can see it in there in these clear
glasses it's just metal and it
essentially well it stabilizes it it
makes it so it can stand up stuff now
the first pair of glasses I got from I
buy direct the frames were only 11
dollars and they were 11 dollars I did
not realize that glasses without the
metal stabilizer were a thing but they
were terrible you can take a look at
this b-roll they were flimsy floppy they
squeezed my head because they make the
plastic really tight and curvy to try
and hug your head to compensate for
there not being metal get them out now
how do you know well you don't you
either have to get lucky and choose a
set of frames that has a clear option so
whether you're ordering clear or not you
can go to that clear color and see that
there's a metal bar or you just have to
take a risk maybe you can contact your
support but here's a hint you know if
they're 10 15 bucks for the frames they
probably don't have that stabilizer bar
so I would go for frames around $30 I
think you'll be much happier with them
last but not least is to get spring
hinges if you can now spring hinges
aren't too popular and I'm not sure why
as I
really do like this I mean they're just
they fit on your head so well they're
flexible they're comfortable these
glasses have spring hinges I really like
them I like that pop you know when you
close them they just really pop in
compare it to glasses without spring
hinges you have to like push all the way
and they just feel a little bit cheaper
so if you can get glasses with spring
hinges a nice added bonus but not really
a must so those are all the tips and
tricks I have if you use all the promo
codes in the description based on the
appropriate site you can probably get
your first pair for around thirty to
forty dollars a really nice slash decent
pair so go ahead and check that out
