Think Before You Buy Glasses-And Save


Think Before You Buy Glasses - and Save

If you’ve ever thought about buying glasses online but were scared off because it seems too hard or you’re afraid you may make a mistake - don’t worry. Ordering glasses on line is easier than you think!  Here’s a few helpful tips on how to ensure you get exactly what you need when you order glasses online.


First, check your prescription ... and then double check it. If you’re ordering prescription sunglasses, your prescription may be different than the rx for prescription glasses.  If the numbers on your prescription above the -5.00 range, you need to upgrade your prescription lenses to one with a higher index, since most eyeglass frames are not built to support the weight and thickness of basic lenses with high prescription. You should also pay attention to whether the numbers in the SPH (sphere) and CYL (cylinder) are positive (+) or negative (-).


Think about why you wear your glasses. Do you need to wear them all day? Are they only for computer usage? Perhaps they are only for reading usage. Whatever the reason, this is important because it affects your pupillary distance. IF for everyday usage, select “distance" when selecting what you’ll be using your frame for. What if you only wear glasses sometimes or just for reading or computer usage? Simply select “reading"!


If you use your eyeglasses for reading AND distance, then you might want to consider multifocal lenses - like progressives. Most retailers will make progressive or bifocal lenses easey to find but, buyer beware, the frames you selected may only be compatible with reading OR distance correction - not both. Look for a simple symbol - like a green or red check mark - to tell you what you can use those glasses for.


Shopping online shouldn’t be so difficult but by paying a little more attention to the retailers requirements, you can order glasses on line with ease. Now, you can save a little more money, too! GlassesUSA.com has a fantastic sale running through March!

PAAS Easter Egg Dye and Heinz Vinegar Review

Easter is early this year,so we decided to dye eggs last night. You know that the Easter Bunny has got to get the baskets ready so we need to help with the coloring.{So~I am told by my grandson} We were super excited as this year we were sent some new PAAS Easter egg dyes to try.       This year, PAAS has seven new egg decorating kits, including Volcano Eggsplosion, a kit that uses melted crayon shavings to provide instant color and Touch of Velvet, a kit that uses double stick adhesives and flocking powder to create fun, fuzzy shapes on your Easter creations! For the brightest, most vivid colors, add one tablet and three tablespoons of Heinz Distilled White Vinegar to a PAAS Color Cup or a one-cup container. Once the tablet has dissolved, add ½ cup water and stir gently.      According to the PAAS  more than 180 million eggs a year are dyed with PAAS dye!   Also, to help keep hard-cooked eggs from cracking, add two tablespoons of Heinz Distilled W
