What Clients Say

I'm pleased with the fit and function of the glasses. So far the results are very positive and my eyes are staying clear and sharp. My old glasses didn't cut it on my motorcycle and caused dry eyes and blurred vision. No problem now. Very happy with my new glasses!

I have to say I've had one pair of these glasses for 3 years and wore them everyday and it wasn't until about a week ago that they broke! These glasses are worth every penny and I will be buying more than one when I repurchase today. They're cute and trendy and I always received compliments on them. I would not only recommend these to a friend but to a complete stranger too!

After spending almost a crazy amount on glasses from my doctor, I despised them. Out of desperation I came here and started printing out different frames. I have a small face and had a difficult time finding frames that weren't too wide. I wish they gave more information on how to understand the measurement between the lenses. I picked the Trento because of the overall width and the smaller nose piece measurement. They are perfect! They fit so comfortably and for some reason, my vision while on my tablet or computer is so much better than with my expensive glasses. The only upgrade I got was the non-reflective coating. I'm never buying glasses from my doc again!

These frames are everything I wanted. Honestly didn’t think it would be what I wanted and had the mindset of being disappointed, but when I received my new glasses it was everything I wanted. My prescription was spot on and the frame fits perfect. I get so many compliments and the frame doesn’t feel cheap at all. Definitely will be ordering a lot more pairs considering it’s super affordable.

I've ordered these glasses twice and love them. You just can't get any better quality for the price. These glasses easily hold up against any glasses I've bought from my eye doctor, which run upwards of $200 because I have a high prescription. I will continue to use this website-the quality and service is unmatched.

Beautiful very affordable frames and lenses. The delivery was a bit long but still timely. The whole frame plus progressive lenses was $128.39. When it arrived it looked exactly as it did on the website, it feels great and the prescription lenses are perfect.
