I don't think it's that difficult to figure out how to buy glasses
online, I think it's kind of fun, really. The online vendors seem to
have a better selection than the local shops, too. I measured my own
PD, took a few measurements from my old glasses and I was ready to
shop. I'm too nearsighted to see how I look in frames when trying
them on in a store anyway. You need to have an idea of what styles
and shapes look good on you, I think.
I've gotten two pairs of prescription sunglasses now ($15 each). 80%
grey tint for bright sunny days and 50% amber for cloudy days or
evenings.
I'm thrilled about the whole online eyeglasses thing, too. Instead of
paying a small fortune for one pair of glasses and wearing them every
day for years, I can order up a new pair like I'd order a pair of
shoes.
