EyeBuyDirect is doing another Buy-One-Get-One Sale today only. These are a good deal for those of you looking for basic set of eyeglasses.

As always, some restrictions apply so click this EyeBuyDirect Buy One, Get One Sale link for details.

This is the simplest way to get two decent pairs of glasses from EyeBuyDirect. One of the things I've learned is that it's always great to have extras -- and each extra pair prolongs to life of each of the pairs in your collection.

If you've got a need for higher-index lenses, like your frames with a brand name attached or wear progressives, the better option requires an extra step or two...


(And no, you can't double discount with this, let's be realistic people...)

We've had $10-off for a long-term discount for a little while, but if you've got a pair of eyeglasses on your 39DollarGlasses radar, order now with this link and have a couple of extra bucks in your wallet at the end of it all.

Here's the link again.

John was the winner of the "Glasses of the Year Club" from EyeBuyDirect. He'll be sporting a new pair every year for the next five years.


I wonder what his 2014 pair will look like as he cruises around in his flying car to his job at the Solar-Electric Power Plant.

It's a neat prize. Congratulations John.

This is fun.

The guys at EyeBuyDirect created a special set of frames for the GlassyEyes' 3rd Anniversary. They're available for $7.95 and are -- I think -- eligible for the Buy-One-Get-One offer as well.

Supplies are limited.

Join the party with some special (and inexpensive) specs.

I appreciate it EBD!

First off, let me start with a heartfelt "Thank You" to all of you who have helped to make this site as relevant as it is. Your emails, comments, questions, and input are the fuel for all of this. It's been an interesting and fantastic three years and I really appreciate all of your help in passing the message along to others in need.

It's been challenging and at the same time very rewarding to get to read so many emails from people who are able to see through clear (and even tinted) lenses and still be able to afford groceries for the family.

Keep passing it on. It's making a difference. The markets are beginning to change in response to this sharing of knowledge and empowerment.

I bought the site a logo for its "birthday". I'd expect to see it soon on new business cards, stickers and maybe a t-shirt or two in the coming weeks.

I also tried to respond to as many of the suggestions as I could about the site design. The two most prevalent questions I've gotten are "Where do I start?" and "What are the best deals?" (check the news scroller at the top and the extended listings on the customary left side), so I tried to highlight those two areas in the design of GlassyEyes 3.0. It's not that I don't like answering the questions, but I bet you'd rather not have to ask. I value your time and know that I don't necessarily enjoy digging for information that should be plainly visible.

Keep the questions and ideas coming. It makes filling posts easier.

Thanks again!

Really rolls off the tongue eh?

I just got an email with this information and am not going to have time to dig out the financial details today, but would LOVE it if someone could fill in the holes and do the math for me on this. This deal lasts until November 13th.

This is, potentially, one of the best deals G4U has ever had.



Here's the link.

The promo code is: 'SALE'

From a strictly personal sense, the biggest news is the new site is going live tomorrow. I'm going to be busy putting together the finishing touches all day. I've got a full pot of coffee, finished watching the season finale of Mad Men during breakfast, put the full-time gig on hold for the day, and the kids are at school until 3PM. Here we go!

Secondly, and maybe firstly in the grand scheme of things, EyeBuyDirect has decided to extend their sale for another week. That's right, they're going to continue to double up on the orders until November 15th. If you missed out last week, and are still in the market for some nice glasses with a great guarantee, you're in luck for another week.

Gather up your prescriptions and hit the site!

I'm going to be heads-down at the desk for a while. See you tomorrow.

There is a major upgrade to the site happening next week on November 10. That, not coincidentally, is the third anniversary of the site. I'm enjoying working on it. I hope you'll enjoy the fresh look and hopefully friendlier navigation.

More details as the time approaches!

This is TODAY ONLY (Monday, November 2, 2009).

EyeBuyDirect is starting their Buy One Get One sale today, and have added something EXCLUSIVE for GlassyEyes customers. Make an order today using this link and you'll be entered into a drawing for a free pair of eyeglasses each year for the next five years.

Your odds of winning are excellent in this -- 1 in as many orders there are through that link. To give you a bit of insight, there have been fewer than a dozen orders as of 2PM Pacific time today. That number is sure to rise, but even if it doubles, those are odds you'll not find elsewhere. If you're thinking about ordering this week, and you've got a prescription handy, it behooves you to do it today.

Good luck! (Here's that link again)

Winner will be contacted at the conclusion of the Buy One Get One sale, probably next week.

EyeBuyDirect is having another Buy One Get One sale starting on Monday, November 2nd and lasting until midnight on the 8th 15th.

From the website:
Simply add as many pairs of glasses as you like to your shopping cart. During checkout, the frames will automatically be paired and you will pay only for one of the two pairs.
They don't all need to be the same prescription, so load up for your entire family (or neighborhood)!

As usual this is for single-vision lenses and the minimum order is $14.95.

I'll remind you again later in the week if you'd like to sign up for the feed (see the green area near the top left of the page) or follow me on Twitter at @glassyeyes.
