Model 9147
Classic Frames
I was Honored when I was accepted to do a review for eyebuydirect.com. They are Well known over the Internet for low priced great glasses. I Ordered The Tanana Frame. The glasses were heavy and very well made. My prescription was perfect. I went About a week ago to get my eyes reexamined because I am Diabetic and My prescription had changed. :( I am not so happy about that. I had to buy a pair of 300 dollar glasses from lenscrafters because my eyes had gotten soooooo bad and I needed them right then. My lenscrafters glasses are not as sturdy feeling as the ones I got from eye buy direct. I even Got tons of compliments from the lenscrafter associate that was helping me. She said she was gonna order some glasses from eye buy direct. This was coming from a woman with PRADA Frames on her face. I would definitely Recommend Eye Buy direct to family and Friends. The Only Con to ordering from this co. Is it took Like 4 weeks to receive my glasses But They were still GREAT.!!! They Even Have days Where you buy one get one!..
FROM THE EYE BUY DIRECT WEBSITE
Lenses
Polycarbonate lenses
At EyeBuyDirect, all standard lenses are made of lightweight CR39-resin with a standard lens index of 1.499, coming with a completely scratch resistant coating. Polycarbonate lenses are the lightest material available (optional), and due to its high impact-resistance and durability, it also happens to be an integral material used in making bullet-proof "glass".
Single vision lenses
Single vision lenses have one fixed focus point or correction over the entire lens area. They can be used for either near, intermediate or distance vision. For instance, glasses for driving or reading are single vision. EyeBuyDirect's standard free lens is single vision.
Bifocal lenses
A bifocal lens is divided into two sections by a horizontal line, with the upper section of the lens usually used for distance vision, and the lower section used for near vision. These two different focuses in the one lens allow people with myopic or hyperopic conditions to use a single pair of glasses for both long distance and up-close vision.
Progressive lenses
Also know as varifocals, this type serves the same purpose as bifocals but without the obvious horizontal line segmenting the lenses. It provides a smooth transition between distance and near vision, as well as the capability for viewing intermediate ranges.
Coating
Anti-reflective
Our premium anti-reflective coating is ideal for computer use and night driving. They work by increasing the light transmission through the lenses, providing you with the clearest, sharpest vision at all times. Any great-looking pair of eyeglasses will look even better: people will see your eyes through the lenses, not the light reflection!
Anti scratch
No eyeglass lens material - not even glass - is scratch-proof. However, a lens that is treated front and back with a clear, hard coating does become more resistant to scratching, whether it's from dropping your glasses on the floor or occasionally cleaning them with a paper towel. All our glasses get an anti-scratch coating.
Super Thin
As consumers, our interest in thin and light extends to more than just potato chips and beer - it has impacted eyeglasses in a very significant way. Most eyeglass wearers are nearsighted, and a basic physical property of nearsighted lenses is that their edges are thicker than their centers. The stronger the prescription, the thicker the edges (see lens drawings below). Most of today's fashionable frames are made of plastic or metal with rims thinner than the lens itself. Aso very popular are rimless mountings, where the lens edges are completely exposed. in either case, the lens edges are highly visible, and thicker edges can detract from the appearance of the eyewear. We provide two kind of thinner lenses: 1.57 called thin and lite, 1.6 called super thin.
Ultra-violet treatment
Another lens treatment that is beneficial but invisible to the naked eye is ultraviolet (UV) protection. Just as we use sunscreen to keep the sun's UV rays from harming our skin, UV treatment in eyeglass lenses blocks those same rays from damaging our eyes. Overexposure to ultraviolet light is thought to be a case of cataracts, retinal damage and other eye problems. An ultraviolet treatment is simple and quick to apply to most plastic eyeglass lenses, and it does not change the appearance of the lenses at all.
Tint
As opposed to the changeable photochromics, another option in colored lenses is a tint, which remains constant at all times. Tints are available on our glasses with the following colors: brown, grey and green (available 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%). Lighter, fashion tints are used primarily for cosmetic purposes to enhance a wearer's looks. Darker tints allow the wearer to use the lenses as sunglasses.
Light-adjusting lenses for eyeglasses
Also known as photochromic lenses, are a type of coating that tints lenses but with a unique feature. When indoors, the lens tint will be very light and allow as much light in as possible. However exposed to strong sunlight outdoors, the lenses will get dark depending on the direct exposure to sunlight. Please be advised that these lenses do not get as dark as a typical sunglass and will tint up to approximately 60% darkness.
Bifocal lenses for eyeglasses
are a special kind of lens offered by EyeBuyDirect to customers who want more flexibility with their frames. Bifocals basically have 2 separate parts, the upper part for distance and the lower part for reading. The best thing with Bifocals is it serves a dual purpose for those people who hate changing from distance eyeglasses to reading glasses and vice- versa.
Progressive lenses for eyeglasses
Also known as varifocal lenses or just varifocals, are a type of bifocal but without the line. This lens is usually called no-line Bifocals and is preferred by people who don't want the line to be obvious on their glasses. They serve the same purpose as bifocals so as to provide both distance and reading vision on a single lens.

I like the JA0038 Black/Red frames. I actually had a pair similar to those four years ago. I just really love the look. Also, once I started to wear the plastic frames, I fell in love with them. They do not scar my face or put pressure on my nose. I love those glasses!
