Ira, the blogger behind the Glassy Eyes blog, is one of my heroes. He writes about online companies that sell prescription eyeglasses. I now buy all my prescription eyeglasses online and save a bundle.
Today, Ira writes that he is sending in a pair of cherised, but badly scratched, eyeglasses for re-lensing. If he reports back with good results, I’ve got some vintage eyeglass frames I’m going to get re-lensed. (This photo of Ira has mouth eyes!)
I’ve not been easy on my lenses even when they were so criminally attached to the $350+ price tag… The thing is, I REALLY LOVE these glasses. I love the photochromic lenses. I love the look. Dare I say, they’ve become my trademark. I needed to get them re-done. I looked around and decided I’d give the folks at 39 Dollar Glasses a whack at replacing the lenses.They’re going in the mail tomorrow (with a significant amount of padding included in the box). I’ll report back when they arrive.
This is also (“potentially” — until I see the results) a great way to fill those vintage frames you just grabbed at the thrift store or off eBay without spending an additional fortune.
