3 Reasons Why You Should Buy Glasses Online

By Danny Cohen

It's no secret that you can save a lot of money by shopping for frames online. The trend of online glasses shopping has shown an impressive growth of 60% from the previous year, and it will only continue to grow for the foreseeable future. Keep reading, and find out the top 3 reasons why you should be buying your glasses through online retailers.

1. Save Up to 70% Off Retail on prescription glasses online

Leading online stores cut out the middleman so you pay less. Between rent, shipping and production costs, it’s no wonder the average markup for frames in brick-and-mortar stores is 250%. You won’t pay less than $350 for multifocals at the store, but a frame of the same quality and the same prescription will cost less than $150 online. Online retailers cut back on all these costs by using their own in-house laboratories, which means you save a lot of money when shopping for frames online.

2. Bigger Frames Selection

Leading online retailers can showcase over 5000 frames on a single site. Brick-and-mortar stores are limited in the number of frames they can put on display. When you’re shopping online, there’s almost no end to the options at hand: Non-prescription glasses, single vision or multifocal lenses, available in every size, shape, material and style from dozens of brands, only a click away.

3. Top Quality Glasses: Designer frames, high-grade materials

It’s simple. Reputable online retailers get their frames and lenses at the same place that brick-and-mortar stores do. Whether you’re shopping for non-prescription frames or high quality progressive, bifocal and adaptive lenses; online retailers provide exactly the same materials and brands, including household names like Ray-Ban, Oakley, Tom Ford, etc.
