Choosing new glasses can be really expensive can’t it! If you need them, you need them but the cost of new glasses can be quite high. Especially if you want more than one pair. I have been wearing glasses since I was 13. it’s been a long time and as I get older, I am experiencing a lot more changes than I thought I would meaning a revolving door of new glasses on a yearly basis.

But have you ever thought about ordering your glasses online? After having your appointment with your optician and getting your new prescription, you can choose to purchase your glasses via an online glasses store as opposed to instore.

I have had a pair of glasses from an online store in the past and didn’t have any issues at all once gaining my correct prescription. But how about looking at something different to really change up your look on a day to day basis?

What are ichoose Glasses?

ichoose glasses are a new online glasses store with a twist. Each pair of ichoose glasses comes with a spare pair of interchangeable sides. So when you order your glasses, you get an extra pair of sides for free. Based on your chosen design you have a range of different colours and designs to choose from.

Ordering is pretty easy once you have chosen your frames. You just need to have your prescription to hand so your lenses can be made to your prescription. You also need your PD (pupillary distance) measurement too as this determines where you look through your lenses. Make sure to take into consideration the size of the frames when choosing too. Each style is a different size and it would be easier to measure your current pair to make sure you get the best fit possible.

It took me a little while to decide on my options but eventually, I settled on a pair of purple frames and plain and patterned sides.

Wearing My ichoose Glasses.

I loved the colour as soon as I saw them. The purple really popped and the lenses were so clear. The prescription is just right and I managed to get my PD measurement correct too so wearing them compared to the pair I received from the opticians is exactly the same which is great.

The frame felt slightly too small for my face at first and the sides needed a little adjustment over my ears to perfect the fit but other than that. I absolutely love them.

But what is the deal with changing the sides?

That’s the issue, isn’t it! Honestly, though it is pretty easy. When you look at the sides you can see the connection and simply press down and remove the side. And it is that simple. The extra set matches the frame perfectly and both pairs look really good.

I am really pleased with my new glasses and have been wearing them regularly alongside my current frames. I even popped them on when I went to Michael Buble recently too! I could see him perfectly despite not being super close we still had great seats.

If you are looking for some new glasses, why not head over to ichoose now. All pairs are from £60 with the extra set of sides, the final price depends on the lenses you choose and any add ons you select. You can also choose to receive the frames only or choose blank lenses if you don’t require a prescription. You can use code BLOG10 to receive 10% discount.
