Step 1
Determine what type of glasses you need based on personal preferences or the doctor's written prescription. Take into account practical things like frame fit, lens color, bi-focal strength or single lens strength when making your selection. A trained optometrist or the eyeglass fitting specialist can also assist you in eyeglass selection.
-
Step 2
Shop online for drastic deals and steep discounts. Eyeglass manufacturing is not all that expensive to produce, so large savings can be found with the right resource.
-
Step 3
Try purchasing glasses wholesale instead of retail. A great resource for this is at a Costco or Sam's Club. You can find great deals at a shopper's warehouse like these. Prices are significantly less than what they would be wholesale.
-
Step 4
Purchase eyeglass insurance with your order, if it is available. Glasses that are lost or stolen are replaced using insurance coverage to help offset the cost of replacement.
-
Step 5
Consider buying a case. Purchase a high-quality, durable case or bag to keep your glasses in. The bag protects your investment and helps keep your glasses in good condition.

on 5/1/2009 These are great tips for buying eyeglasses. When I bought my last ones I discovered, after the fact, that my insurance would have paid if I had used a different vendor.
