Our Review - ReplaceALens Online Lens Store


My husband bought a new pair of sunglasses recently
and was looking for the place to get the prescription for them.







We found these sunglasses at a Lenscraft store, while we were waiting for them to fix my broken glasses a few months ago.

My husband was not interested in purchasing sunglasses at that time but I was interested to look around at many glasses there and happened to find one of Ray-ban's brand sunglasses and asked him to try them on.

and I thought he looks great in them , they are kind of like John Lennon style sunglasses and they look luxury and very cool.  

It's Rayban's Black RB4246 Clubround,

and he also really liked them after seeing himself in the mirror with them.

So we purchased them recently in a different glasses  store.

We asked  Lenscraft about the price of the prescription lens  for those sunglasses.

He has the information for his prescription so he only needed to get the prescription lens with vision insurance.

There are many options for the lens , for colors and lens  types etc...

He chose ,


Single Vision Poly-carbonate , 


No mirror lenses,  just green/black color  lenses.

and they said it's going to be about $199 with insurance.


We didn't purchase there and wanted to look around many other stores to find better deal.

We went to Costco vision center but they did not accept Rayban's sunglasses to get the prescription lens .

and other glasses stores are all same prices or even higher.

We were searching several glasses  stores online as well.

and I happened to find a  glasses  store which offers prescription lens with 5 stars review in yelp.

I was curious because so many positive reviews.

The store name is  " ReplaceALens Denver "

www.ReplaceALens.com

It is located in Colorado (USA) and I found out they accept to make the prescription lens  if we send the glasses/sunglasses  to them.

The price is very reasonable and compared to other glasses  stores  this place has much lower prices.  

Also they are offering 15% discount for first time customers so it  was even cheaper!

After my husband placed an order by filling out all his vision information in the form online,   they sent us the order confirmation email .

and we packed his sunglasses and his vision information and the order confirmation ( after printed it out )  and sent it to the company ReplaceALens.
and about 6 days later they sent us the notification email which says they had received his sunglasses.


and they let us know they had begun processing his lenses. The average processing time is 1-2 weeks from the date of receipt.

They said they will send  another email when the order is complete.


and one week later, they already made it and we received the tracking number of the shipment.

and a few days later, he received his stunning sunglasses with prescription lenses in them !

He chose ,

* Single Vision Poly-carbonate Tinted Lenses

* [Select your frame type:Full-Rimmed Frame]

* [Select tint color:G15 (Grey/Green)]

* [Select tint darkness:Standard (80%)]

* [Add a mirror coating: Black - (Includes Sun Anti-Glare)]

* [How will you use your glasses?:Distance SV]

* [How will you provide your Rx?:Rx will be mailed with my order]

* [How will you provide your PD?:My PD is written on my enclosed Rx] 1


The price was less than $130 with mirror coating lens .

If it was other glasses  stores, it would cost over $230 for sure.









I really like the lenses which have Black mirror coating . ( The picture can not show the color clearly, but it's beautiful black mirror coating. )  


These look expensive and high quality with very reasonable price.

The customer service is great as well, soon they responded to our question.

It took about 18 days to receive our order since we placed the order.

We are very impressed with this company's service, quality of the lenses, and low price.









We surely will order from them again when we purchase new sunglasses.

Highly recommended to people who are looking for prescription lenses for their sunglasses.

Thank you so much !

Health tips from an extra-terrestrial named Bashar - from a planet called Essassani

photo credit: skyseeker Mt. Fuji via photopin (license)    Today,  I would like to write about health tips from an extra-terrestrial being named Bashar who is from the Essassani Planet .     He is channeled by Darryl Anka. Planet earth used to have beautiful clear air, but since a long time ago the air has been polluted everywhere.    and the cause of most illnesses comes from the poison in the environment we are in, with the polluted air. Nowadays, it's hard to find places where there is beautiful clean air. and in this unfavorable environment, he is suggesting how to live healthy.   Health tips 1.  Clear Oxygen  According to Bashar,  the air after storms and typhoons have gone away, is the most clean ( purified ) and is good for our bodies.

Sweet Food which does not get fat - Warabi mochi

I recently love eating this sweet food that Japanese call " Warabi mochi " which is made of 0 calories food psyllium in my coffee break time.   It's sweet food but I use Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener instead of sugar when I make it. Lakanto Monk Fruit sweetener is 0 calorie s and 0 glycemic and very similar taste as normal sugar. It is said it's derived from monk fruit, which looks like a small green gourd native to regions of China and Thailand.  It's not artificial so it is not bad for health so I feel comfortable eating it. Warabi mochi is a food which is normally made of Kinako ( soybean flour) & sugar & warabi powder and it's one of my favorite foods. However it's high calorie foods so if I eat a lot, it's easy to gain weight.   Because Warabi mochi flour is Starch and has sugar in it and is high calorie.  So I was not eating it. and then recently I found the recipe of diet Warabi Mochi which is made of Psyllium...

Beauty skin care, Ninon de L'Enclos ā€˜s Secret of her young skin

Besides extra virgin olive oil, Iā€™ve been doing a mixture of another great natural formula since two weeks ago. This information came from Ray who happened to find about Ninon de Lā€™Enclos ā€™s amazing story concerning her youthful skin. According to the article, Ninon de Lā€™ Enclos is known as a famous French beauty from the late 1600s. She kept her youthful skin until 85 years old when she passed away. Even in to her 80ā€™s she was attracting many young men who fell hopelessly in love with her. She never published her secret of her youthful skin until the end , only telling her special friends about her secret formula. There is no photo of her, but seeing her painting in other websites, she looks in her 30ā€™s when she was 85. According to the article, her face was as smooth and free of winkles in her 80ā€™S as it had been at 20. She hated wrinkles and successfully kept her skin youthful , using her special secret formula. This information blew me away, and immediately ...

Franz Lisztā€™s dangerous love

  Franz Liszt was quite tall in his generation, standing 6 feet 2 inches tall , long blonde hair , piercing sharp eyes, pianist' long narrow and delicate hands and fingers. His body build was very slender. People who knew him described his personality as full of charm, charisma, and very knowledgeable.  And he loved brainy women. He was the consummate artist. It seems that Liszt loved dangerous love , which thrilled him and gave him excitement rather than a stable, peaceful , safe love. Franz Liszt While reading about his biography, I was wondering why he fell in love with two princesses who were already married. Marie Dā€™Agoult He seems to have had a lot of love affairs in his life, someone found out that he had at least 26 serious relationships in his life ( besides countless other affairs ) but the only ladies he thought about marriage was with these two princesses , Marie Dā€™Agoult and Carolyne Sayn Wittgenstein ? Charlotte Von Hagn ...

Franz Liszt and Frederic Chopinā€™s friendship Part 1

Frederyk Chopin   Iā€™m a long time fan of Chopinā€™s music since when I was a teenager. Started loving his music from hearing his Polonaise , then Noctunes , Etudes ā€¦ Frederyk Chopin I was using one of Chopinā€™s Nocturnes as my background music for my answering machine when I was in my 20s. In Japan, many of his music is famous and used in many TV dramas, commercials, movies, and mostly wealthy bourgeois family scenes. My image of many of Chopin ā€™s music that Iā€™ve listened to is of a cozy, bourgeois world. From almost all his music Iā€™ve ever heard, I often pictured an elegant, wealthy familyā€™s world or a story about a family who are living in a luxury antique style house. Many of Mozart ā€™s music reminds me of a social life in an older generation, a story about bourgeois world in a gorgeous luxury palace. For Liszt ā€™s music, his music is very variety, ranging from an image of a sweet passionate love story for couples, all the way to nightmare horror story type o...

My favorite ways of Law of Attraction Part 3 - Successful Wishing - Pierre Franckh

Pierre Franckhā€™s books ā€œ Successful Wishing ā€œ are another of my favorite books.     There are series, 1 to 6 , and are not published in English , but I did find them in a Japanese book store,  translated by a Japanese translator.   Pierre Franckh is a German actor ( Movies & TV) from 1959 ā€“ 2003, and is also a movie director and a writer.  Since 1996, he published many books and became a best selling author.  Franckh wrote based on his personal experiences from when he was a child . I love the way how he writes , itā€™s very easy to read and direct to the point, very clear how to do it with step by step instruction. Also importance of finding what you truly want.    Many people are actually not realizing what they really want and then when they get what they wanted,  still not feeling satisfied. Pierre said that before making your wishes and order to universe, itā€™s important to clear ...

Charm of Kenichi Hagiwara - Shoken

From Japanese Movie " Ame no Amsterdam (Rain in Amsterdam)" I've been into the late 1960s to 1970s generation since several years ago. I don't know why but I'm very interested in older generation's people, trends, lifestyle, scenery, habit, TV drama, music, films, etc..   and not so interested in new things much.  There are many new discoveries through checking out old stuff while reading and watching it, which I didn't know before. and about several months ago, I happened to find a youtube video of  a famous Japanese actor called Kenichi Hagiwara who was my favorite actor in 1970s when I was a kid. His nickname is Shoken and he is also a singer of Rock/blues music.                      Shoken( 18 years old) singing ā€Legend of Emeraldā€ Shoken was one of the super stars in Japan mainly from the late 60s generation to early 80s. When he was 15 years old,   he joined an amateu...

Organic foods and healthy living ā€œ You are what you eat ? ā€œ

Weā€˜ve been enjoying organic foods since a month ago.   Because we care for our health and also organic foods taste more delicious than normal vegetables.   Recently, I really feel the famous quote  ā€œ You are what you eat . ā€œ   is true.   Although healthy life comes from balance between mind, body, skin care, good night sleep and activities besides food life .   Health is a treasure.   Also I realized that ā€œ good blood circulation ā€ is one of the most important key to keep healthy and look young skin.   After being amazed to see Styxā€™s ageless Tommy Shaw on TV, I started searching about ā€œ secret of youth ā€œ.  He looks so much younger than his age.  Also, there was an interview with Styx on CNN in the morning about a week ago and they talked about what they think are the keys to longevity and a healthy life. http://www.cnn.com/video/?/video/bestoftv/2012/04/23/ex...

Camille Saint Saens friendships with other composers

More about Camille Saint Saens . This is Part 2. Camille Saint Saens was close friends with the legendary composers Franz Liszt and Pyotr Tchaikovsky as well as with another renowned French composer , Gabriel Faure . As mentioned in my last post about Camille Saint Saens, Liszt was a huge help in promoting Saint Saens music, by including Saint Saens music in his own concerts, by staging concerts of Saint Saens operas, and in general doing all he could to help the younger composer. When Saint Saens was 50 , he began composing another symphony in the early part of 1886. He had scarcely begun, however, when he received word of the death of Franz Liszt . The news affected Saint-Saƫns deeply and he immediately decided to compose his new symphony as a tribute to Liszt, and to dedicate the work to his memory. The inclusion of a prominent role for the piano was part of this tribute. Tchaikovsky first met Saint-Saƫns during the Frenchman's concert tour to Moscow in No...
