I have been wearing glasses for about 42 years. That's a fact I don't mind in the least. In fact I rather look forward to changing my style every few years. Until today, I'd never shopped online for a pair though.
It does seem as if I've had over four decades of spectacular spectacles. (Perhaps hyperbole is an unintended effect of the website's advertising.) It has also been over four decades of cleaning, bending, breaking, and adjusting them. I simply could never convince myself that sticking contact lenses on my eyeballs is something I'd care to do. Laser surgery is all the rage, but even if the long-term effects prove safe, why mess around with one's corneas?
After yesterday's eye examination, which I've since discovered is not covered by my insurance, there's been very little change in my prescription. It was seven years ago I last had my eyes checked! Still, my insurance does cover 80% of eyeglass purchases. I've always had the idea that many optometrists' eye-wear products sport a hefty in-store markup. The prices at Clearly Contacts™ seem so reasonable!
At first glance (pun), glasses are not a product one would think of as ripe for online sales. I just tried ordering a very personal product sight unseen (pun). Honestly though, the selection was better and the process a breeze. Will I be happy with the results? I guess we'll see (pun).
