Phase detection and contrast detection track subjects at all times in both camera and video modes for superior focus.

ISO 100–12,800 (expandable to 25,600) means low-light photos are crisp and clear

My Experience With Warby Parker’s Home Try-On Program

a2

What used to cost me $400.00, had to be custom-fitted, and often looked unattractive? Eyeglasses! While I love to shop in general, selecting glasses is a nightmare I’ve been dealing with for over 20 years. (Since I’m severely nearsighted, skipping correction isn’t an option. I prefer contacts, but dry-eye syndrome limits wear time.)

When I first started buying glasses, they were only available from an optician. The internet revolutionized the process and being able to buy glasses online is a HUGE savings! The only downside is picking out an unknown frame, crossing your fingers, and praying it works ok.

Some of the frames I liked, others were hideous. Because I was most concerned with cost, I was willing to make the sacrifice. Then I heard about Warby Parker’s Home Try-On program. Since I’m in need of new frames, I eagerly signed up and selected five options from the Winter 2014 Collection:

* Oates Oak Barrel

* Holcomb Pearled Tortoise

* Whiskey Sugar Maple

* Verne Beach Glass

* Keene Amaretto

As you can see from the pictures, my favorites were the Verne Beach Glass (gray in color) and the Whiskey Sugar Maple (dark brown in color.) Both were cute, but don’t follow my lead and wear two at once. (Why am I so silly…)

Warby Parker is known for retro-style frames, which isn’t what I’m accustomed to wearing. (My current pair is a semi-rimless medium oval frame, made by Kenneth Cole.) I don’t think any of these styles are really “Me,” but I loved the quick and easy process. Best of all, it was free (there is no charge to use this service, provided you follow instructions and mail them back with the prepaid shipping).

If you’re looking for a new pair of glasses or sunglasses, I recommend giving Warby Parker’s Home Try-On program a try!

On this Thanksgiving, as I count my many blessing, I’m especially grateful for:

* The Lord – As we all know, everything good comes from Him.

* My sister, Jackie  – The greatest assistant in the world. The blog would never be the same without her many contributions.

* My wonderful man – Hungry Bear, you’re the best.

* My cat, Pumpkin – A crazy critter that makes me laugh daily.

* Snow Plows – 7 inches of heavy, wet stuff are in my yard right now.

* Turkey & trimmings – I’m thankful to be well-fed, when so many in this world don’t have access to adequate nutrition.

* Coupons – Black Friday shopping, as much as I want, for pennies.

* America – The greatest country ever devised! Freedom for all, always. God bless this great nation.

And last, but never least, I am so thankful for my readers! Each and everyone one of you that reads this blog, comments, enters giveaways, or contributes in any way is an integral part of The Jewish Lady community. You bless my life every single day!
