GlassesShop Press Room

One of the things customers are happy about is the personal approach and the helpful customer service the company offers – “Very good service and quality. I messed up on my prescription and they sent me a corrected prescription for free, just had to pay for shipping, great service.”

GlassesShop is an American owned and operated eyeglasses retailer that launched in 2004. They're one of the more affordable glasses retailers on this list. Their frames and lenses are purchased directly from manufacturers, so they're able to cut back on costs. Sign up for their newsletter to receive a 50 percent off coupon instantly.

That said, based solely on my purchase experience, they seem to have it together well enough that I wouldn’t have any concerns if someone mentioned they were purchasing from GlassesShop. One thing in particular that stands out is the little insert about caring for your glasses. It’s incredibly simple, but is something that I think might really appeal to (and help out) first time buyers.

Expensive frames can keep you from having a different pair of glasses for every mood, but at only $8, these vintage-inspired frames are a steal.

Good Housekeeping magazine has dubbed the brand as the “best option for budget buy eyewear sites.”

GlassesShop offers several styles of own-brand frames for their prescription sunglasses, with many of their styles starting at affordable prices.
