Traditionally, glasses have been bought in person after a visit to the optometrist. This is usually more convenient because most eye doctors operate out of retail stores. However, this is not the only option. In this day and age, almost everything is available and affordable online and glasses are no exception.

Here are ten reasons why you should be ordering your prescription lenses online…

• 1.They’re cheaper

Retail stores frequently markup the prices on their glasses quite a bit. Have you ever wondered why glasses can cost as much as $300? They definitely don’t cost that much to make. The answer is because retail stores are able to take advantage of uneducated consumers. People blindly trust their doctors so when they are finished with their checkup they assume that they need to buy whatever the salesperson recommends. However, when buying online you can purchase prescription lenses for a fraction of the price.

• 2.They’re convenient

Sure, it may be easier to buy your glasses in store if you’re already there for a check up but if you’re at home and your glasses break or you just want a second pair, it is much easier to go online and order new ones from the comfort of your own home. Many people cannot drive without their glasses, I can’t, I would much rather order a pair from my phone rather than try to find a ride to the nearest store.

• 3.Wider selection

Most online stores are not burdened by limited retail space. Many have their own warehouses, full of stock, that ship glasses directly to you. Thanks to this, they can list a variety of different frames and lenses. The selection at websites like DanielWalters.com is seemingly endless.

• 4.It’s easy

Many people have the misconception that ordering prescription lenses online is difficult when in reality, it’s the opposite. Ordering your prescription lenses is as easy as taking a picture with your phone and uploading it to our site. If you can’t take a picture then simply enter the information that your optometrist provided yourself and then you’re done. This may seem scary at first but we provide plenty of information to assist you along the way and help is only a phone call away.

• 5.Free shipping

Not all online stores provide free shipping… but the best ones do! Here at DanielWalters.com we offer free shipping on all orders within the United States regardless of how many items you buy or how much you spend.

• 6.Scratch Resistant, Polycarbonate, Antiglare, and UV Protective
• All of our lenses are polycarbonate lenses. Polycarbonate was originally engineered for use in space travel and it’s still used today to make windshields on space shuttles so you know it is high quality. Since our lenses are all made of polycarbonate they are inherently scratch resistant, antiglare, and UV protective. That means you get all of these awesome extra features, valued at $180 elsewhere, for absolutely no extra cost.

• 7.No Sales Tax (outside of California)

Thanks to our online presence, Daniel Walters is able to offer products free of sales tax to everyone within the United States, except for California.
