Even though I wore them earlier in life to be fashionable, it wasn't until I was 11 that I finally had my first pair of prescription eyeglasses. The worst part of the entire experience? The shopping.
I remember looking at dozens of frames. Picking out a lens tint. Matching the frames to my face. Rejection after rejection.
To this day, I'm still picky about what my glasses look like on me. When I finally find a look I like, it's hard to switch.
Well, I'm about 3 years overdue for my eye exam.
Now that I finally have insurance again, I'm a few weeks away from getting a new eyeglasses prescription. The decision looms before me... do I get updated lenses, or do I change my overall look again?
I'm thinking it's time for a new me.
Since they're on me all the time, I really do believe that the specs make the man. As much as I enjoy my current frames, I'm tempted to look for something a little lower-maintenance, while being able to handle my on-the-go lifestyle. And what better way to browse than looking for glasses online?
I'm a Business 2 Blogger member, and recently saw a job request from GlassesUSA.com. I jumped at the chance to review their site, because I myself am in the market. What better way to get a new sponsor than to potentially be a new customer?
And odds are I'll be buying at their website. Their selection is fantastic, and I'm very impressed with their "Virtual Mirror" tool. The biggest problem I have with frames is matching them to my face, but GlassesUSA overcomes that obstacle.
So there you go. Stay tuned for a new Brandon in the weeks to come. When I get them, I'll definitely want to show them off, and if I buy online, I'll be letting you know how that process went.
