EyeBuyDirect: review and giveaway CONTEST CLOSED

Ok, I had some problems with getting a winner on this one as lots of comments in there were to congratulate me with the Blogs of Note. Some had nothing to do with the giveaway, so I deleted those.

====================================================

Both my husband and myself wear glasses and as you all know getting a new pair of glasses can be very expensive (even with insurance). After finding out about EyeBuyDirect, I now know I spend WAY too much on my previous pair. I had the fantastic opportunity to review this amazing company EyeBuyDirect. 

This company has  hundreds of  frames to choose from: from Designer frames to Rimless, to Fashion , Bifocal glasses, and even Sunglasses, the options are endless. 

And they start as low as $7.95!

I selected the Mara frames in brown and I love them. I didn't know what to expect quality wise but I shouldn't have been worried. The quality is excellent, the frames really light and I just love my design! 

The thing I was hesitant about initially is that I didn't want to buy these frames "blind". EyeByDirect has a great solution for this called Eye Try, this feature lets you download your

picture, you add your frame to it and voilà, you've just tested your frame. If you don't like your frame you just keep looking until you've got the one just right for you! It's great!

I have prescription eyeglasses so with my prescription in hand I entered this info in my order and my glasses are just perfect! 

My glasses arrived in a hard plastic case with a cleaning cloth and 2 vouchers for 5% off on the next order (hey, I'll take it)

Some facts on EyeBuyDirect:

* they make online prescription eyeglasses affordable and accessible to everyone 

* you save at least 70% on your new glasses 

* you get the same high quality glasses as in a store 

* you can use EyeTry on any of their frames 

* easy & convenient way to buy glasses 

* 100% Satisfaction Guarantee

* free shipping over $99

Here's my EyeTry picture (I bought my frames at night so the picture is a little dark) and my picture with the real frames.

Something else I really like about this company? They have a special deal:

For every five new customers you refer to EyeBuyDirect.com you will automatically be sent a coupon voucher worth $60 , in addition to 20 loyalty points per customer. I can not let this opportunity go by.

If you add this code IFMG8VG8L9 when you order, you get 10% discount and I get 20 rewards points that I can then save towards a new pair of glasses (WIN-WIN)

And now what you've all been waiting for, I have a giveaway!
