You know, I've never bought glasses or contacts before so this review with 39dollarglasses.com was both new and educational. I was given up to $75 credit to do my review and this is how it went.
After that was where it got confusing. I'm not sure if there was a tutorial but if not, they should put one up. Basically, you then pick your options for lens thickness, antireflection and so on. These options all cost varying amounts. To be honest, if I had known, I would've probably chosen a slightly cheaper frame so that I could get the antireflection option. Unfortunately, I didn't have that kind of time and had already spent a lot of time choosing my frame, that I love, so I stuck with it, without making any changes.
My completed glasses arrived a couple of weeks later and they looked great! They had even included a cute and useful glasses cloth and screwdriver set. I was stoked to try them on. They looked pretty sweet but the only problem was that I was seeing the reflection of everything around me. Let me tell you, I had never felt so nauseated and dizzy before. Granted, I admit part of it was my fault for not havIng the time to go back and make a new selection. However, my process would also have been simplified and not as time consuming if the options were listed upfront.
My conclusion: Great prices and selection for the frames and lens but remember that there are extra options available for purchase. Keep that in mind and you're good. I would highly recommend antireflection. It'd definitely be worth it.

I have heard of this over and over again, but never looked at site. Now that I have taken a look I am so excited! My glasses are so outdated!
This is a discount eyeglasses site I hadn't heard of so thank for the introduction! I'll make sure to look at all the options such as antireflection and such when I check out too, thanks for the warning!

I really need a new pair of glasses. The selection and prices on this site are great!
glasses are so expensive! my daughter wears them and it is always nice to have an extra pair or two. They have some cute sunglasses styles too!
I've ordered glasses online before but for 39! I would totally do it again.
I love these glasses and they are so affordable. My husband really needs a new pair.
I really like the frames on these glasses. Cute but sophisticated.
I like that it comes with a cleaning cloth and screwdriver set.
I don't know, I've had glasses before for reading and distance for driving, I never knew there was an anti reflection option. Maybe that is what makes them so affordable. When other expensive shops just throw it in and charge you more. Thanks for the review.

i love the wire glasses and t hen the color are great
I'm buying a pair now and I can't figure out which option is the anti-reflective one.
You are right about them needing a tutorial. I can't even find it in HELP..
