Why You Should Never Buy Your Glasses Online

Consumers turn to the Internet for convenience—to save time and money—but when it comes to purchasing eyeglasses online, the consequences of making one uninformed purchase could cost them both in the long run.

1. Return Policy – what is their return policy?  How will the site handle an inaccurate measurement or other mistakes – will you be responsible?  Read all the fine print – especially when you submit your order.
2. Warranties –  Are they offered?  Will they cover lens scratching, duration of coverage, will there be a fee, how long will your warranty last, especially for children?
3. Shipping –  What are the cost and timeliness?  Who is responsible for cost if there is an error?
4. Pricing – What are you paying for?  Are there any hidden charges?  Anything extra?
5. Insurance – Some websites do not accept vision insurance.  If you have a Flexible Spending Account (FSA), check with your administrator to verify if payment can be made using your FSA.
6. Maintenance – Some websites provide a contact for this service or tips.  Will there be additional cost?  Will they need to be shipped elsewhere and who will be responsible for the cost?
