Website Review: GlassesUSA

Disclosure: I received some sort of payment (product, cash, gift card, affiliated link) in exchange for this post. All opinions are 100% my own.

If you haven't noticed I wear glasses now. I probably, okay not probably, I should have gone in at least a year ago to get my eyes checked. Now that I have to wear eyeglasses, my biggest fear is that I am now a mother wearing glasses. In other words; I am going to break the heck out of my glasses. I cannot tell you how many close calls I have had. From the simplest incidents for example; hitting the side of my frames on my daughters bed while tucking her into bed at night. To setting them now for a split second and my two year old daughter grabbing them. Not only do I wear glasses, so does my husband. Although he mainly prefers to wear contacts, he does like to keep a couple pairs around.

This is when GlassesUSA comes in. They are an website that sells stylish yet still affordable prescription, non-prescription, and prescription eye glass wear for men and women. Lets not forget about the prescription sunglasses they also sell on their website at GlassesUSA.com. One of the neat concepts on the site of GlassesUSA is you can upload a picture of yourself to try on the glasses virtually. How neat is that? You can actually see what you look like before you buy them. 

So why not save yourself the time and money when your a busy stay at home mom and order glasses from the computer online at. I know I will be order my second pair of glasses online, because not only can you receive a great deal, you can also add on other great deals as well.

Therefore do not wait. Head over to their site and check out their frames. My favorite personally is the Muse Lola Tortoise. This will be the next style I will be ordering of glasses online.

The best part is they are offering a discount for all my READERS!

My New Permanent Fashion Accessory...

My new permanent fashion accessory; glasses.

Yes I may seem a little excited over them. If you were me you may be too. Only because this may be the answer to the last of my migraines that the change of food, and medication can not help. Secondly so I can actually see with out a blur. I admit I should have gone in a long time ago when my husband told me to, after I stated I had a hard time reading street signs. I am excited to get lost in books again. They have been pushed aside on the shelf. Come to find out I am near and far sighted. Weird huh? We think so too but it explains a lot. For once since I started blogging I could actually write this post without feeling strain in my eyes and having to take a break. Ah...feels wonderful.

My choice of glasses are perfect for me. I had to pick something that stood out with my personality. If I am going to have to wear these all day ever day, they need to be fashionable. I think the ladies in the office loved it. They kept stating how cute they are and how I'm not sticking to normal glasses. He he. Of course this won't be my only pair. I need a pair of red ones right? Ha ha.

Now here is to getting use to my new fashion accessories. Or as we call them for our youngest daughter who too wears glasses; pretties.

Shes getting glasses..

At Helen's recent check up a couple months ago her pediatrician noticed her right eye was not always aligning or following with her left eye. Also known as esotropia. In simple words; cross eyed. To her concern as well as ours as parents she instantly referred us to a pediatric ophthalmologist. Of course our appointment was set back a couple months because we are sent to one of the best pediatric ophthalmology offices in our area. During this time waiting I wanted to write about it, but I wanted to wait till I knew everything.

Today was the big appointment, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous. I was afraid how she would react to the scary eye equipment. With all the testing that the doctor did, Helen did a wonderful job sitting still. The doctor was able to get everything plus more he needed and was pleased with her behavior. I was very satisfied how welcoming and warming the office was.

 The outcome is she does have esotropia in her right eye, as well as in her left eye. Her right eye has the esotropia worse than her left eye though. There are a few options to start working on solving the esotropia, one is she will start wearing glasses. We ordered her purple glasses and they are cute! She will go back for a follow up in two months to see the progress from wearing the glasses. The glasses are to keep the eyes aligned by helping a very farsighted eye to focus without having to turn in. We are hoping this does the trick, if not she will probably have to wear a patch sometimes. We are hoping she takes the transition to wearing glasses somewhat decent. We know it will be new to her and at her age with glasses; she is only 17 months.
I have to admit, she does look cute with glasses on.
