I buy my glasses online all the time, and I love to watch UA-cam videos of people reviewing their glasses (Is that Weird?) so i came across your video. This video is so informative! I just love how you are so positive and plus size lady positive!! I just subscribed to your channel ☺ very excited to watch your other videos!!!
Thank you for speaking about the glasses industry and how one company owns all the big name glasses companies. I'm getting an eye exam today, so this is the info I'm looking for, as I've never bought online before!
the last pair of old optical store glasses I had cost me close to $550 and I had them for 4 years. when they finally looked ad enough for me to get new ones, a friend suggested Zenni optical. fast forward 18 months, I now own a good 40 pairs of glasses, including several prescription sunglasses. remember when prescription sunglasses were a huge luxury? lol. I love Zenni and eyebuydirect. I just tried firmoo and I have to say I am very impressed. great video, very informative for first timers ☺️
My sister just told me about zenni and I was just looking at their website - you gave so many awesome tips I wouldn't have thought of before ordering thank you so much!!!
I have bought from Zenni for years, and helped many family and friends to do the same. I want to say, well done with your advice on taking note of the frame sizes. So important. Also don't buy frames with a nose bridge that's too small. It makes them sit too high on your face (unless of course you have a small nose bridge). I really like your first Zennis. Most of them looked good. Not quite so keen on the pair you said you really liked (about 80 $ I think) near the end.
Pupillary distance doesn't usually make a difference in whether you get wider lenses or not. Your PD is used for placng the optical center of the lens in the correct place in the frame so it is correctly positioned for your eye..
I agree with your assessment of the eyewear industry. The whole thing is a scam! The prices they charge are obscene. I'm an EYEBUYDIRECT fan, but have gotten good glasses also from Firmoo, and my husband from Zenni. I'm going to try some Zenni myself. When they're so cheap, it's hard not to keep buying!
I get my eyes checked yearly, and love wearing new glasses. I think the challenge shopping online for plus size is seeing if the frame will fit with my face. I have a new prescription and ordered a few pairs from coastal, bonlook , and glasseslit. I really recommend glasseslit too!
Love those first glasses ! What is the name of those? Is the top clear or pink? Can’t tell on screen. Look great on you !Tried to find them on their site can’t locate them. Would appreciate your response. Thanks again!
Not true. That method will yield a falsely low number, because it doesn't take into account the actual frame around each lens. There are a lot of millimeters unaccounted for there!

It's scary the first time, but SO worth it to save $$$ :)

America's Best

The third number is not the width of the frame. It is the length of the temple (what you called the arm).

just got a pair (with single vision lenses) from eyebuydirect for $21 with shipping. screw luxottica.
The last number is the length of the arm of the glasses...front to back ;)
Darn - I thought it was across! Checking that number has worked out well for me tho!
The width across is: 2 times the width of the lens frame plus the width of the bridge, so it doesn't make sense for it to have its own number :)

Why didn’t u like ez contacts? You liked the way they did the glasses? I ordered frames from them.
I wondered that too. She didn't really say.
Firmoo does not offer blue light blocker for people who need progressive lenses. wish they did though.
Good idea's, thanks!
Where did you get the black cat eye frames?
andi eyewear insight... that’s how I found her channel.
Sorry thank you
