Yep, I’m a girl who wears glasses. I’ve been blessed with having to wear them since the age of ten. And, of course the more I wore them, the worse my vision got.

And, nope, I won’t get lasik surgery to correct my vision {even though I’ve entertained the thought}. My glasses are a part of me…at least for now. And, until I commit to correcting my nearsightedness and astigmatism naturally, I’ll continue to wear glasses.

Although I’ve been in the same pair of glasses for a few years now, I’m always on the lookout for unique frames, especially vintage ones. So, I was happy to come across a couple of websites that specialize in vintage or vintage-inspired frames.

Allyn Scura offers vintage glasses for women, men, kids, and even sells antique spectacles. I’ve ordered a couple pairs of frames from them recently. And, although I haven’t had my prescription placed in either of them yet, I’ll be rotating them consistently once I do.

And, doesn’t it get under your skin when you find a cute pair of frames for $50 and you take it to your local optician to have your prescription lenses put in and the lenses are $300. What an outrage!!!!

Well, I’ve discovered a solution for this: Warby Parker.

They are one of the best online options for really inexpensive frames with the prescription included. You can get the frame and prescription lenses for $95. Now that’s what I’m talking about: cute glasses with prescriptions lenses for a great price! Because there’s nothing worse than being price gouged on your prescription lenses.
