It’s no secret that shopping for frames online can save you a lot of money. But only 5% of the glasses in the United States are purchased online. People are unaware of the full range of advantages online shopping presents them with. So with no further ado, here is what we spy with our little eye...

The first time I went to an optometrist was when I was 13 on a recommendation from my middle school teacher who claimed I was having difficulty seeing the chalkboard - I mean I was, but that didn’t mean I wanted glasses. Knowing this, my optometrist assured me he would give me a stylish pair of frames that I’d be happy to wear - and ever since then, every few years I come back to buy another pair of $500 glasses from him. Well, until I discovered the great thing that is buying my glasses online.

Everyone knows that buying glasses online is significantly cheaper than at the optometrists' or at any brick and mortar eyewear retailer. Yet, many are still a bit apprehensive because they're not sure how something as personal as a pair of glasses will actually fit. For those people we bring the Virtual Mirror.

By encouraging your child to wear computer glasses, at home or school you are actively helping them from becoming one of the other 90% of Americans who are reported to suffer from Computer Vision Syndrome yearly. Computer lenses, otherwise known as “digital block lenses” are slim but powerful lenses that counteract negative emissions from computers, cell phones, tablets- digital devices that your child comes in to contact with on a daily basis. These emissions are linked with not only early on-set myopia but, puts your child at risk of developing Computer Vision Syndrome.
