YesGlasses is an online-only eyewear brand that makes prescription glasses and sunglasses starting at $39 — we had 3 glasses-wearers test it out

Overall, I really liked all three pairs I received and I will continue to wear them, but I can tell they're not as high quality as the frames I usually wear. My mom owned an optical store for the great majority of my life, so I've always had easy access to perfectly adjusted designer frames (and a lot of them). For context, my everyday frames are Guess, Marc Jacobs, and Inspira (which is handmade in France).

The clear horn-rimmed glasses fit my face well and I loved the way they looked. After some wear, they did cause a bit of soreness behind my ears, but that could probably be fixed with a professional adjustment. They felt the most sturdy of the pairs I tried and reminded me of my favorite Inspira frames.

The blue-light glasses I tried were also very stylish. The temples were quite flimsy, which I don't love in my glasses. These frames were reasonably comfortable, but the nose pads definitely needed an adjustment. I didn't notice any difference from the blue-light-blocking lenses, but I plan to continue wearing this pair for work.

The pink sunglasses were the pièce de résistance. They were a tiny bit wide for my nose, but I loved them regardless. The pink was jarring when I was indoors, but outdoors, they were more than adequate at blocking the sun. Most importantly for me, they look awesome.

I wear glasses every day, so having them adjusted to my face has always been important to me. I plan to take these to an optician soon since adjustments are usually complimentary. I'm not totally confident that these glasses will hold up as well as my normal frames over more time and wear, but they are a good option if you want something more affordable.

There are a handful of places you can successfully order glasses from online — and I've tried a bunch of them — but YesGlasses stands out to me because it strikes a good balance between style, affordability, and lens options that make a pair of glasses useful for your specific needs.

I have a particularly strong prescription and I wear my glasses every waking moment. I would much rather spend more on lenses that are thinner, scratch-resistant, and blue-light blocking rather than the frames themselves. Fortunately, with YesGlasses, I didn't have to sacrifice style, affordability, or any of those lens options.

I got to test three pairs of glasses — anti-blue light glasses, tinted sunglasses, and gradient sunglasses — and I haven't had any complaints with the fit of the frames or the lenses.

I once switched from blue-light blocking glasses back to normal lenses and couldn't make it through an entire day of staring at a computer screen with them on. When I switched from the blue-light blocking glasses that I wear every day to the blue-light blocking glasses from YesGlasses, there was no strain on my eyes, so I can confirm that they work.

The Hipster Square Tinted Sunglasses and the Wayfarer Gradient Sunglasses were both stylish and did a good job of blocking the sun.

Although these pairs were provided to us by the brand for the purpose of testing, I love that they're affordable enough to be adventurous with choosing a style. If I did have to pay for them, my total for all three pairs would have been $212.50, which is less than I've paid for a single pair of glasses or sunglasses on multiple occasions.

Usually, when I work on these types of reviews, I have to make it a point to wear and photograph the item, but I've been wearing all three pairs so much over the past few weeks that I already had photos of myself wearing each pair. I chose to use these full-body photos to help prove that glasses are just as important for style as they are for seeing — and that YesGlasses has plenty of choices to match your personal fashion sense.

I wear glasses every day, and from all the times I've tested different glasses brands for my job, I probably have 10 or more pairs that I wear regularly. All of this to say that I have plenty of brands to compare YesGlasses against.

Overall, I've been loving the shapes of my YesGlasses pairs and wearing them frequently, but I can tell the quality isn't as top-notch as other brands I've tried, like Westward Leaning. To me, these are the glasses you get because you want some variety — not the one nice pair you buy for every occasion until your prescription changes.

You can't tell the difference in quality just from looking at them, and anyway, I don't believe in spending a ton of money on glasses since prescriptions change and lens replacement can also be pricey.

As far as the fit went, the two regular eyeglasses are comfortable on my face, albeit a little tight right behind my ears. Nothing that can't be fixed with a professional adjustment. The sunglasses fit me really well — perhaps a bit wide on my face, but that's because I have a child-sized head and a taste for styles that maybe aren't 100% right for me. However, I did love that they offered prescription options for sunglasses for people like me who don't wear contacts.

Overall, I'd recommend Yesglasses among my other favorite affordable online shops like Zenni Optical and EyeBuyDirect. The quality is good for the price you pay (the brand provided my glasses, but all three pairs would have totaled around $200 including blue-light lenses) and the styles are fun and fashion-forward.

The most significant con here is the fact that you're really getting what you pay for as far as frame quality goes. It's not that these look or feel particularly cheap, it's just that you can tell the quality isn't quite as high as designer brands. That said, these are still a great value, and if you're the kind of person who likes having a couple of fun pairs for matching to your outfits, this is a great place to buy them.

It's also worth noting that if you're looking for frames from a specific designer or brand name, YesGlasses isn't where you should be shopping because the brand makes its own stylish frames. However, if you're simply attracted to designer brands for certain styles, there's a good chance you'll find a comparable style for less at YesGlasses.

Glasses are intended to improve a person's vision or protect their eyes, but they are equally important for a person's style and personal identity. YesGlasses fully understands that and effectively balances style, affordability, and lens options. Although you won't find name brands on the site, there are plenty of great choices.
