My Nerdy Glasses

I just got new glasses and I am super stoked about them!

I while back I was approached by someone from GlassesUSA.com to do a review and I immediately said yes.  I have to wear glasses to see far away, so I need them for any driving I do day or night.  I have a prescription pair of Michael Kors sunglasses that I like the look of, but they are always sliding off my face, even after being tightened multiple times.   Once I was at a restaurant and I leaned over to flush the toilet and sure enough they slipped right in!  I was totally grossed out and washed and disinfected those bad boys multiple times before I could wear them again.

I knew exactly what style of glasses I wanted.  I knew that I wanted big lenses so I didn’t feel like I was wearing reading glasses if my glasses slipped down the bridge of my nose just a bit.  I had recently tried on a fake pair of those black nerdy glasses and really loved the look.  I decided on a pair of tortoise nerdy style by the brand Spy.

I placed my order and was given the option to have them contact my eye doctor or send in a prescription by fax or email.  I added my doctor’s info and went that route.  Unfortunately they couldn’t get a hold of my doctor to get my prescription, so I looked in my wallet to see if maybe, just maybe I had one.  I did find one, but it had expired, so I made an appointment at JCPenney to get my eyes checked.

After my eye exam at JCPenney, they asked me if I wanted to look at any glasses.  I knew I was ordering the nerdy tortoise shell glasses from GlassesUSA.com, so I didn’t need everyday glasses, but a new pair of prescription sunglasses sounded good since my current pair were a little annoying.  I found a great pair of aviators and then headed back to work.

When I got to work I scanned and emailed the new prescription to GlassesUSA.com.

One week later, exactly, I got a call from JCPenney that my new sunglasses  were in.  I also got a delivery from GlassesUSA.com! Since I ordered the nerdy tortoise shell glasses online, I need them to be tightened so they wouldn’t fall off my face so I took them with me to pick up my sunglasses.  JCPenney was awesome!  They adjusted my sunglasses and happily adjusted my new nerdy glasses!

What an awesome experience!
