Downsides of buying glasses online

Limited Frame Options

When you shop online, you can't physically try on the frames to see how they look and fit on your face.

This can lead to errors and cause discomfort if the frames don't fit you.

​

Prescription Accuracy

Ensuring the correct prescription is a crucial aspect of eyewear. Ordering online might lead to errors in your prescription or lens quality, which can affect your vision in a negative manner.

​

Fit and Comfort
Eyeglasses should be comfortable to wear throughout the day. Without trying them on, you risk getting frames that are too tight or too loose.

​

Quality Control

Online retailers may have varying levels of quality control, and the frames and lenses you receive may not meet your expectations in terms of durability and craftsmanship or originality.

​

Returns and Exchanges

Returning or exchanging eyewear purchased online can be more cumbersome compared to in-store purchases. It may involve shipping costs and longer processing times.

​

Lack of Personalised Guidance

When you visit our store, you have the opportunity to get personalised guidance from us and we can help you select the right frames and lenses for your needs, according to your lifestyle.

​

Insurance and Warranties

Some insurance plans may not cover eyewear purchased online, and warranties on frames and lenses may differ from those offered in-store.

​

Adjustments

Frames often require adjustments for a proper fit. Even minor adjustments, when not executed correctly, can lead to discomfort and headaches. With online purchases, you may need to visit an optician for adjustments, which can be inconvenient.
