Goggles4U Ups The Ante. They used to be a 5% discount here, but now we're at 10% -- the best deal for them on the web. Link! (Use code: "glassyeyes").

Today is the last day. If you're looking to get a couple of pairs for yourself or a loved one, the time is right -- and you can get two pairs for the price of one just because you know of the GlassyEyes site.


I've had a comment that this sale is only for the frames. This is incorrect. There are restrictions, like minimum $14.95 purchase, and this sale only includes single vision with anti-scratch lenses... You'll do best checking it out on the site. If you need lens upgrades, you'll pay for them for both pairs.

This is a great sale to pick up a couple of extra pairs of glasses or save big (as in more than 15% when you deck out two pairs.


Special thanks for the cool GlassyEyes-only banner for this sale. They've done a nice job on this.

Ends at midnight PST.

I had a really great conversation with my contact at EyeBuyDirect the other night about the state of the online eyeglasses industry and what they're doing to fix some of the shortcomings they've identified in the process.

They're a thoughtful group over there.

They're aware that some of the customer service issues over the busy holiday season left some people waiting longer than they are used to (or unable to contact them easily) and he's dedicated to improving this right now.

They've also created a custom, exclusive TWO-FOR-ONE sale this weekend for us.

Take advantage of this and use it as an opportunity to introduce a friend or family member to the awesomeness of online eyeglasses!

Now through Sunday evening!

[UPDATE! Post Recycling! There is another BOGO, today, Wednesday, January 27th!]

I considered the title "It's Monday so it must be BOGO" but EBD has been mixing it up a bit lately with the timing of these events. I'll hang on to that title for future use -- it's *that good*.

Anyway, I you're in the mood for a couple of pair of basic glasses (or prescription SUNGLASSES), but only want to pay for one, this is something you'll want to check out.

Typical restrictions apply. See EyeBuyDirect for details.

This one caught me off-guard (and on a new gig all day, so I was unable to update the site). Eschewing the more typical Monday BOGO, they're doing it on a Friday.

If your date canceled, and you're wondering what to do tonight, hit the site and order yourself a pair of fashion eyeglasses!

See EyeBuyDirect directly for details. They do a better job at describing the always-present exceptions.


Big props to one of my most loyal twitter followers @jennahw for pointing me towards this amazing work of eyeglass-art by Stuart Haygarth (via VeryVeryFun).

As I told her yesterday, I think I'll have to start one of these now and keep adding to it as my eyes degrade into my 40's... 50's... 60's...

In fact, it's given me an idea for a new project to start -- in my massive amounts of free time -- as a combo light fixture/eyeglasses storage device.
