A company that promises to sell you "affordable eyewear you can trust," 39 Dollar Glasses is a completely online retailer that's been in business for 22 years. The site offers a large variety of eyewear including glasses, sunglasses, just lenses, and contact lenses.

Really affordable pricing

Their prices range from $39 to $69 for regular eyeglasses and from $48.95 to $78.95 for sunglasses if you're just buying frames. If you'd like to see the prices with the lenses, you can search through their lens feature which will limit the search to frames that offer the lens types you're interested in. With prescription lenses, prices can reach up to $93.95 per pair for a standard lens for clear glasses and $138.90 for prescription polarized sunglasses. Also, some of the specialized clear lenses can reach up to $318.95 for super thin lenses with progressive and transition additions. While the price range seems wide for a company promising $39 glasses, they still come in under the average price of $100 to $150 for frames that you will get at a traditional eyewear store.

Full range of Rx merchandise

Across the site, 39 Dollar Glasses offers a full spectrum of eyewear options. They offer eyeglasses and sunglasses for men, women, and children, as well as a full range of lens types including:

• Transitions
• Anti-reflective
• Progressive
• Blue light blocking
• Polarized sunglasses
• Thin Polycarbonate
• Super thin

The thin and super-thin lenses both come in a variety of options. So, you can mix and match some of your needs with the lenses available. However, the more you add to those specialized lenses, the more expensive the final purchase will be. Contacts are available at a sister site accessible from 39 Dollar Glasses and with the same login as you use with the 39 Dollar Glasses site.

30-day returns for a refund, 90 days for credit/exchange

If you're not happy with your purchase, 39 Dollar Glasses promises a 30-day return policy for a full refund on your glasses. Other than the price of shipping, you get everything back that you paid on the glasses. The store also offers a second option if you're willing to return for store credit or exchange your glasses for a different pair. This policy is a 90-day return where you can get 100% back in store credit and free shipping.

Re-lens your existing rame

One of the standout features of 39 Dollar Glasses is the option to "re-lens" your existing frames. A lot of customers aren't interested in all-new glasses, especially if they like what they're already wearing. 39 Dollar Glasses offers options if you want to keep your existing frames. The process is super easy. You just need to describe your frames in the order, choose the lenses you'd like to add to your frames, and then place your order and mail in your frames. There is a $50 mounting fee if you have "floating" lenses (lenses that don't have a frame all the way around). Other than that you're only paying for the lenses, which can range from $39 to $318.95 depending on the type that you want. However, most standard clear eyeglass lenses are within the $39 to $138.95 range.

Repeat customers and numerous 5-star ratings

Across customer reviews, 39 Dollar Glasses has a 4.8-star average rating, and an "A+" with accreditation by the Better Business Bureau. Happy reviewers noted that they loved the speed and safety of the orders. They loved that the price was lower than a traditional eye doctor and that the quality of the items fit what they were looking for. One user mentioned exclusively buying their glasses from 39 Dollar Glasses for 12+ years. And, if you're worried about customer service, 30 Dollar Glasses is getting 5 stars in that department too. Customers who used the re-lens feature were thrilled with their results. Despite having to ship in their glasses, reviewers noted that the turnaround time was great.

Some critical reviews

Despite the overwhelming positive reviews, there were some critical ones as well. Some customers said that their glasses broke very quickly (which we view as more of a complaint with the eyeglass manufacturer rather than this company). A few felt that customer service was lacking for them when something went wrong.

Amazing value for money

If you're just looking for frames, the prices at 39 Dollar Glasses are close to unbeatable. Even when you start to add in lenses, the prices are lower than the industry standard, unless you start to get the specialized lenses that are already priced higher by the distributors. With the "re-lens-your-own-frame" options, you can take the purchase of frames completely out of the picture as long as you have your prescription.

Highest rating

With their wide range of options and prices, 39 Dollar Glasses has something on its site for everyone. Because of all these great features it earns the #1 spot in our rankings.
