Internet discounts on designer glasses move one step closer to the high street

September 11th, 2009

They say ‘the eyes have it’ so it’s important to create the right impression with quality glasses that reflect your personality.

For a chic or sophisticated look, designer glasses add some extra status but come with a hefty price tag on the high street.

As a result, people are increasingly shopping for their glasses online where trendy styles and big brands can be found at a fraction of the price and with all the same service and quality of a high street optician’s.

And now one online retailer is bringing its range of discount glasses one step closer to the high street.

Fast growing on-line prescription glasses retailer, Glasses 4 Eyes, has this week opened its first factory shop at its Silsden HQ in West Yorkshire.

With a huge range of frames on display in the factory shop it’s now even easier to choose the right pair of glasses to suit you – and save a lot of money.

“Even though we currently offer a Try At Home service and our website includes an innovative virtual mirror, some customers would still prefer to see us face to face – now at least some of them can,” said Managing Director Graeme Alton.

Prices at www.glasses4eyes.co.uk start at just £15. Just find the frames you like, let Glasses4Eyes know your prescription and they will do the rest.

All prescription glasses include quality frames, free prescription lenses, free hard anti-scratch coating, free protective glasses case and free priority handling. Online, glasses are posted direct to your door within 3-5 working days.

Glasses 4 Eyes on site staff can also take down the required distances to allow them to accurately supply varifocal glasses to their customers and can even read your current prescription from your existing glasses.

For a closer look at the range of glasses or to find directions to the factory shop, visit www.glasses4eyes.co.uk

Web site compares products to help Acne sufferers find a cure

August 24th, 2009

Regulators in the US have warned acne treatment firm Allergan Inc. that an advert for its acne treatment Aczone is misleading because it overstates the drug’s benefits, Press Association reports.

For sufferers of Acne left confused or mistrustful about the benefits of certain Acne treatments following the warning, there is a source of help available on the Internet.

www.10acne.com provides information and unbiased reviews on different acne products and medications, which are rated by Acne sufferers using the site.

The site features a list of 30 Acne Treatment Reviews, rated by site users, which help to combat the most common symptoms of Acne.

Exposed Acne Treatment, distributed through Exposed Skin Care, is currently the top rated product on the site. Exposed has won acclaim for its ability to clear existing acne cysts and to maintain disease-free skin.

Exposed is mild enough for extra-sensitive skin, and has been proven to be hypoallergenic and is the favourite product for Acne sufferers who reviewed it at 10Acne.com.

Other Acne treatment reviews include Zenmed and Acnezine and the site also features tips for choosing the best medication for particular types of acne as well as an explanation of the condition itself.

The top 20 medicated treatments are also rated on the Acne medication reviews section of the site.

Currently the top rated is Benzoyl peroxide. This is an antibacterial agent, which introduces oxygen to the clogged parts of the skin’s pores. The more oxygen, the more fatal the environment is for the anaerobic bacteria. Benzoyl peroxide is popular because it is capable of wiping out acne-causing organisms, such as P. acne.

10Acne.com is an independent, unbiased site that rates popular Acne treatments based on site users’ experiences of their effectiveness.

Therefore, the products are rated by Acne sufferers to help other Acne sufferers to get better results by finding the best treatments available on the market.
