*GASP*
I know. I don't wear them in my photos because I generally wear contacts, but a girl has to rest her eyes sometimes. Sometimes contacts just aren't all that fun to have in. So, I pull out my clunky old glasses and place that heavy prescription across my face. Ugh. Ok, so glasses aren't all they're cracked up to be either.
But, then, I was on Twitter one day and saw Airwear Lenses offering review opportunities. Hmmm...this could be interesting. I've been wearing them since the fifth grade. I'd say I'm pretty much an expert by now, right?
Let's start from step one. I receive my form to fill out prescription information and call up my doctor. As we chat about how my blogging is going, I tell him about the review and explain the need for some info. "Airwear?" he asks. "From Essilor?"
"Why, yes!" I exclaim, intrigued at his sudden interest. He goes on to tell me that he is very happy in dealing with them. They have a great product and an even better work ethic.
Score one for Airwear.
I send out my info and my glasses arrive quickly. With a strong prescription, the lighter the lenses, the better. And these really earn their name. Airwear Lenses are a polycarbonite plastic.
A what?
Polycarbonite. In regular people terms it means lighter, stronger, better. It's great for its scratch resistance, durability, impact resistance and it's lightweight, too. So, when I drop them, sit on them, or neglect to place them delicately on the counter, they are less likely to crack, break or scratch. Another fantastic feature...ultraviolet protection. We all need that. Because if you wear glasses, sun protection can be a hassle.
Score another for Airwear.
Ok, now for my favorite part. I've been doing my best to be as green as possible. I recycle. I turn off all the lights and put bricks in my toilet tank. I know, I'm on my way to a Nobel Prize. Maybe not, but I'm trying to do what I can and help others to do the same. It's a process.
But I digress...
Airwear Lenses are totally eco-friendly! Check out this list of green-ities:
- 100% of the waste from the manufacturing process of Airwear is recycled
- They are manufactured using 100% recycled water, conserving millions of gallons per year
- All lenses are packaged in 100% recyclable cardboard
- Their choice in packaging eliminates more than 460,000 lbs of plastic waste per year
Honestly, with all of these benefits, how can you not want to race to your optometrist and get a pair of Airwear Lenses? They are all the wonderful you need to finally make you LOVE to wear your glasses.
**I was not paid for this review, I did however receive a free pair of lenses to try. My opinion of this product is not being compensated for. I found out about this trial from the wonderful Beth Aldrich, @realmomsluv2eat.
