Whether you wear eyeglasses or not, heading to the optometrist to have your eyes checked every year is essential. Doctors check for more than just vision loss, you know? During those annual appointments, an optometrist is also monitoring the overall health of your eye, so if you haven’t been in a while, it’s time to add that to your to-do list.

One thing you don’t need to do at your annual eye exam? Feel pressured into buying pricey frames and lenses at the front of the doctor’s office. The convenience may be tempting, but buying your prescription eyeglasses and/or sunglasses online could save you serious money.

One of my favorite places to score stylish, durable, high-quality glasses online is EyeBuyDirect. Right now, you can use code ITK30* to save 30% on your order of $65 or more through Oct. 15. The frames at EyeBuyDirect are already really affordable, and this code will drop the prices even further!

I actually have six different styles from the retailer — that’s how good they are. As someone who has spent hundreds of dollars on designer frames with lenses with all the bells and whistles from an IRL store, I can tell you hands down that the eyeglasses and sunglasses you can buy online at EyeBuyDirect are just as good (if not better).

Of course, buying glasses online can feel daunting if you’ve never done it before. After all, you want to know the glasses will look good with your face shape and skin tone before you commit. Fortunately, EyeBuyDirect has several different options that make choosing the right style for you easy.

First, there’s the virtual try-on tool, which is what I always use. While some virtual try-ons don’t really give you an accurate rendering, EyeBuyDirect’s tool is top-notch. Just make sure you upload or take a picture of yourself with good lighting, and you can get a good sense of how different glasses will look on you.

If, for some reason, you order a pair of frames you ultimately don’t love, EyeBuyDirect has an amazing return policy. If you’re unhappy with your purchase, you have three months to request a return or exchange, and you can manage the entire process in your EyeBuyDirect online account.

If you’re wondering why I have six pairs of eyeglasses, it’s because I think of them as accessories. I like to switch them up depending on my outfit, and shopping at EyeBuyDirect makes it easy because the prices are so affordable. I don’t think I’ve ever paid more than $100 for eyeglasses from EyeBuyDirect, and that includes lenses that are extra thin and treated with a coating that protects my eyes from blue light. I don’t know about you, but I’ve never been able to get a pair of prescription eyeglasses in an actual store for this price.

Right now, EyeBuyDirect has more than 1,800 frames to choose from for women, men and children. When you're shopping, you can sort and filter the options based on the size of the frames, the color, the shape and more. Check out a few of the brand's most popular styles below.

Amanda Batula and Kyle Cooke are ready to not have their relationship drama take center stage. Gibson Johns interviews the couple about the upcoming second season of "Winter House," which is the first season of reality TV they've filmed as a married couple, and how being in this new stage of their relationship impacted the filming process for them. They also chat about the fan-driven competition about who the so-called "No. 1 couple on Bravo" is, how this cast gelled compared to last season's cast, whether Kyle and Craig Conover have any true tension and how they're thinking about their relationship to reality TV as their lives evolve.

Emily Ratajkowski doesn’t see anything wrong with the label “bitch.” On Sept. 30, the My Body author, 31, took to TikTok to share that women need to embrace their “anger” — an emotion that is “hard to fetishize.” She declared that women “all need to be a little more pissed off,” adding that it was time to enter our collective “Bitch Era.”

For writer and fashion editor Danielle Prescod, the lack of representation in the media mirrored her reality while attending high school in Greenwich, CT. In her new memoir, Token Black Girl, Prescod examines how growing up in predominantly white spaces shaped her identity. “When you are the single person of color in an otherwise all white group, that becomes your only function. So you don't ever get to transcend your racial identity. It's really hard to access full personhood if your whole being is just focused on being the Black girl,” Prescod tells Yahoo Life. Prescod, 34, was born and raised in Westchester, New York, where all of the schools she attended were predominantly white. She writes that in the 4th grade, another girl declared that she didn't want to play with Danielle because she was Black. It was the first time Prescod remembers becoming aware of her blackness and what it represented to other people. Prescod’s parents kept her busy with a schedule of tennis, soccer and dance, but socially she was on her own to navigate a mainstream culture that often made race a punchline. Growing up in a suburban white community, the things that Prescod was introduced to and experienced weren’t typical of the stereotypical Black experience in America. That was a hard line to tow, because as she assimilated to the white culture around her, her white peers would invalidate her race by telling her that she didn’t act Black. Her reality also left her feeling misunderstood by her own community. “You're the whitest black girl I know, that's what they'll say. And it is supposed to be a compliment because their assumption is blackness is so negative, let me distance you from it cause I like you, but I don't like them,” says Prescod. “And then on the flip side of that, if you interact with Black people, they'll tell you that you want to be white, that you are white, that you're whitewashed or an Oreo. They'll say that about that part of your personality because they also can't see what a struggle it is for you to exist simultaneously in these two worlds.”
