Pretty Frames and Affordable Prices From @SelectSpecs

These frames were available in 5 colour choices and pricing started at $23

Five months ago my girl had an eye exam and we found out she needed glasses. It was no shocker as almost everyone on both sides of our family has corrective lenses.  Frame shopping for a petite four year old was a bit of a nuisance. Try getting a wiggling child who is distracted by the over-lit show room and making faces in the many mirrors, to sit still long enough to pick out frames. We ended up with a titanium finish in a frame she begged to purchase because they looked like daddy's.  The glasses were an exciting novelty for her for the first two weeks, then they went missing.  I jumped at the chance to order new frames for her from selectspecs.com but wondered at the quality and whether it was feasible to order something as important as corrective lenses from an international online store. To be blunt, I wondered if I would enjoy the impersonal nature of the experience.

I was pleasantly surprised at how easy online eyeglass shopping was. As a bargain shopper, I know the location of the clearance racks in my favourite stores. The deals were easy to find at selectspecs.com and they allow you to shop by price category, brand, gender, or custom search the site for keywords.  Upon entering the site I immediately searched for children's frames. There were none listed specifically as children's.  So instead I clicked through the ECONOMY section and looked at the detailed measurements listed for each frame.  I read the measuring guide and it talked me through measuring my daughter's face to find frames with a good fit.

Verdict:
Located in the UK but offering shipping worldwide, selectspecs.com has a wide variety of frames and finishes for your eyeglass needs.  I used standard shipping and received my daughter's glasses in about 8 business days.

They offered detailed product measurements and a guide to the best way to measure your face for ordering glasses was a huge help.

Customizing my order was pain free.  The option of uploading your eyeglass prescription for professional verification is a plus.

I will definitely be ordering my reading glasses from selectspecs.com when I'm due for a new pair.
