Parents always want their kids to be happy and healthy, and wearing glasses is a small accommodation that will help your child tremendously. But if you have never experienced a child needing glasses, you might not know what to look for. Even if you wear glasses yourself, a child's needs when it comes to eyewear is somewhat different than that of their adult counterparts.

Let’s face it: Shopping for eyeglasses is no easy task. Even if your doctor’s office has frames and glasses available for purchase, they’re most likely expensive or just not your style. EBD: A great option for those looking for fashionable frames without breaking the bank.

Stylish prescription eyewear can be costly and inaccessible, especially if you don't have vision insurance. EyeBuyDirect is a direct-to-consumer eyewear brand that makes prescription glasses and sunglasses that are both stylish and affordable, with prices starting at just $6.

There’s something about college life that makes nearly everybody I know invest in a new pair of glasses. I was amazed at the excellent quality and even better prices at Eyebuydirect where even my very tricky prescription was easy to wear right out of the box.

Anyone who loves to wear different sunny every day or have a pair of glasses to go with every outfit should go and buy some glasses from Eyebuydirect. Affordability is an understatement, and the fact that I can go here and buy three pairs of quality glasses for under $50 bucks is a blessing. Just because glasses are cheap does not mean they are bad quality, and they get the same job done as spending hundreds on some frames. The nice things about the online ordering are most prescriptions are included within the set price. You cannot beat that! Prices range anywhere from $10 to $80 dollars (not kidding)!

Eyebuydirect is one of the leading online retailers for eyeglasses, and the brand has not one, but two options for blue light filters. EDB Blue includes your choice of frame and lenses that can be adjusted to fit your prescription.

EyeBuyDirect lets you wear your prescription glasses for 14 days. If you're not fully satisfied, just send them back. Plus, they've donated over 30,000 pairs of glasses to people in need.

It's not just that we are staring at our screens for too long, but there is physical harm happening to our eyes from blue tints in digital devices.

As an editor, I spend pretty much my entire day staring at a computer screen. And no, I'm not just "being dramatic."

Every day for roughly nine hours straight, I gaze deeply into a monitor while either writing, editing, or scanning articles carefully for tiny errors in punctuation. It can be exhausting on the eyes to have a job that is entirely dependent on screens. At one point, I was getting migraines nearly every day — an issue a Google search told me was probably due to the blue light emanating from my computer.

Shortly after figuring this out, I decided to take advantage of a pitch I had received from EyeBuyDirect (one of my favorite eyewear startups) about a new lens coating they offered that featured "digital screen protection." It promised to deflect blue light away from the eyes in order to prevent computer headaches, which seemed too good to be true for someone who had been suffering from them for so long.

• Stylish prescription eyewear can be costly and inaccessible, especially if you don't have vision insurance.
• EyeBuyDirect's is a direct-to-consumer eyewear brand that makes prescription glasses and sunglasses that are both stylish and affordable, with prices starting at just $6.
• I own several pairs of glasses from the brand and I find them to be high-quality, durable, and easy to order.

They looked good on him and not so great on me, but I was determined to find a similar style that would work for my face. I decided to check EBD’s site first before heading to a store because I wasn’t sure a traditional optometrist or eyeglass shop would carry this style.

Glasses are like shoes —they need to be changed to fit the weather, outfit and mood. These semi-transparent tortoiseshell frames from EyeBuy Direct are giving a bit of Hollywood glam but also a bit of practicality, since they can be returned within two weeks if not a good fit.

These vintage-looking red frames add the right amount of color to any look.

EBD’s online optical store is a far easier (and much less soul-sucking) task than visiting your standard eyewear shop. The site’s super cool Eye-Try selfie software allows you to virtually take pairs for a spin — without having to hover over a finger-printed mirror or shoo away suggestions from pushy salespeople.

You need these glasses!

What if we’d tell you that there’s a pair of glasses which protects your eyes from the incoming harmful effects of a digital screen?

We’ve tested the EyeBuyDirect ’s digital screen protector glasses and have to admit they are amazing. We’ve chosen Miss. Aurora, Prism and Aura because of their minimalist and clean look.

This winter, show off your personality with stylish, but still weather-appropriate, outfits that correspond with your zodiac sign. Since holiday season is just around the corner, maybe even start a wish list with some of these items?

Your phone most likely has a nighttime dimming mode, while apps like f.lux do the same on your computer at a pre-set time every night. If you wear glasses, get a pair of blue-light filtering specs—EyeBuyDirect keeps a stylish supply with a “Digital Screen Protection” option that filters the harmful lights—which should send you to bed sans sleeping pill for once and for all.

EyeBuyDirect offers a special patented lens called EBDBLUE which is infused with blue cut technology and covered by enhanced UV-protective, anti-scratch, and anti-reflective coatings. Plus, frames start as low as $6.

Enter Eyezen, a special kind of lens available on EyeBuyDirect, that is supposedly able to filter blue-violet light (the kind that disrupts the circadian rhythm) while also allowing for beneficial blue-turquoise light to pass through.

...Rounding out my bag, I keep Charlotte Tilbury's "Cheek to Chic" blush for an instant pop of color, and her "Rock 'N Kohl" eyeliner, Giorgio Armani's Rouge Ecstasy lipsick in 104 (it's the best neutral lip color I've found in a long time) and a pair of Eyebuydirect sunnies.

Something about a cute new pair of frames paired with an oversize knit just screams cozy chic to me. Maybe because it should go hand-in-hand with a steaming mug of tea and huge pile of blankets to dive into.

EyeBuyDirect offers thousands of frames in a variety of colors and materials that are cute AF and won’t cost a fortune. Even their premium brand, RFLKT, is affordable, with frames starting at $70. RFLKT offers lenses with UV protection that are both lightweight and shatter-resistant.

When you're a millennial in 2016, you spend a lot of time staring at screens. When you're a millennial who also happens to be a digital editor in 2016, you spend pretty much all of your waking hours (and some of your half awake hours) staring at screens.

If no one knows what this means, WHY IS IT A DRESS CODE? Should you find yourself in the company of people who toss "business casual" around like it is not a fallacy, stay squarely in your lane with a drape-y shirt and dark pants but not so squarely that your top can't double as pajamas, the trousers can't unbutton into kick flares, and the accessories can't signal to the only other cool person there that you both need to leave immediately.

Being a human in 2016 means that—in addition to being constantly bombarded with Kardashian-related news and hearing the word "millennial" 12 times a day—there's a good chance you spend most of your day staring at a screen.

So when I had a desk-side meeting with EyeBuyDirect recently, I figured the company’s product would be helpful to me only in the sense that I’d be able to recommend it to readers with prescriptions. Little did I know that as I write this very article I’d have a pair of frames on my face.

Whether you need a prescription or just want to look like you do, EyeBuyDirect’s got you covered. With dozens of great designs to choose from, EyeBuy makes it easy to select the best pair for your style, face shape, material preference and more. Simply enter or upload your prescription at checkout after you’ve decided on a favorite pair. (Warning: Expect indecision. So many great styles to choose from!)

EyeBuyDirect was founded in 2005 with the belief that everyone has a right to proper vision. They produce eyeglass frames, sunglasses, and two types of protective glasses for extended screen time. I fit in the latter group.

Gift cute accessories to your friends. Kara shares, “I never remember the little details that make an outfit. I love it when friends help me out with a belt, necklace, or scarf.” Or send a pair of super-stylish and affordable specs from EyeBuyDirect (prescription lenses start at $6!). Its EBDBLUE line (starting at $40) turns glasses into a digital screen shield that protects eyes from that infamous blue light that messes with our mood and sleep cycles.
