Buying glasses here in Toronto needs a separate budget, or a source of fund that comes from a health plan. The last time I had glasses made here in Toronto it cost me around $300, got broken in a couple of months and I had to get a new pair for another $300, give or take.

Now I don’t buy glasses from any of the famous stores you see around. I save on eye glasses by shopping for them online. Of course the first step is to get an eye exam to make sure my glasses are going to be up to date.

In the eye exam I ask the doctor to make sure he/she includes the pupillary distance. Then I go to glassesusa.com. This is my favorite because of their prices and special occasional offers like free lenses and free shipping.

They ship prescription glasses within a week. Obviously they outsource the process in order to keep their prices low, but who cares. If it will save me a bunch, like $34 instead of $300 I will go for it.

The company is American based, but they serve in some other countries like Canada, UK, Australia, and New Zealand. Lucky me.

If you need glasses, by all means try them out. I am a satisfied customer, and I know other satisfied customers from New York. So go for it.

Here is the link to GlassesUSA.com.

By law I need to tell you that they pay me commission for every sale I refer to them. If you already know me you’ll know I am not going to lie to you for any reason, and definitely not for money.

 

Welcome to my blog.

I reserved this domain early on when I started my Internet based career. At that time I had a job that I wanted to keep so I kept this domain pointing to a plane page that has nothing on it except for a form to check if other domains are available and a link to my email login page.

Now that I don’t have that job any more and that my online career is taking over I decided to build a blog on my personal domain and keep updating the world about me and my family.

The domain yahia.com had already been taken when I decided to get this domain, so I got the .ws version. Although I could communicate with the domain owner to buy it from him/her, I am still not comfortable paying $3000 or more just to acquire my domain name.

So if you haven’t registered your domain name yet now is a good time to do it if it is still available.

And this can be done for free from Blue Host.

Or you can register it separately at Godaddy.com and build your website later when you have time for it.

My advice is to register your domain name now rather than later. Especially if you are kind of famous. Because if you don’t, anyone can register your domain name and build a website and put any content on it that might be harmful to your reputation.

Will keep you updated. Have a nice read.
