From Tadpole to Trendy: How Kits.ca Changed My Glasses Game

I’ve been wearing glasses since I was 12, and honestly, they’ve been a huge part of my story ever since. I still remember my very first pair—big, round, plastic, and purple. Yep, purple was my favorite color at the time, and they fit within my family’s budget, so it seemed perfect… until junior high kids discovered them. Cue the teasing: “Are those big enough?” “Hey, four-eyes!” All the classic insults.

As a kid, I tried everything to “escape” my glasses—hiding them, “losing” them—but somehow, they always survived. Eventually, my grandma took me to Sears, and I picked out a smaller, metal-framed pair. That was the start of a yearly ritual: optometrist visits, agonizing over which style to wear next, and budgeting carefully because glasses weren’t cheap. For years, I usually had only one pair. But once I could earn my own money, I finally treated myself to two—and it felt like a little slice of luxury. Switching them depending on my outfit or mood? Pure joy.

Fast forward to today, and I stumbled across Kits.ca offering a free first pair of glasses. I’ll admit, I was skeptical. How could I pick glasses online without trying them on? And what about my pupillary distance (PD)? Kits made it so simple. Their step-by-step tool helped me measure my PD, their virtual try-on let me test different styles, and within minutes I had my pick, uploaded my prescription, and placed my order.

Less than a week later, the box arrived. And wow—I was impressed. The fit was perfect, the lenses were spot-on, and the quality was amazing. I immediately ordered two more pairs, all for a fraction of what I used to pay for one in-store. Finally, I had the freedom to try bold styles I never would’ve dared to wear as a teen.

And wouldn’t you know it? My latest pair? Big, plastic, and purple—just like my very first pair. Only this time, I absolutely love them.

Until next time, keep hopping into styles that make you feel confident—and may your vision always be crystal clear!
