Anyone else ditch the optician and buy glasses online?
I’ve been working remotely for the last couple of months and my new job involves a lot of screen time. I’ve noticed that my eyes can feel pretty tired by the end of the day soo I’ve been looking into getting a pair of glasses with a blue light filter.
I went to a couple of opticians to see what my options were butt the prices were honestly a lot higher than I expected. Since I’ve only recently started working, I’m trying to be a bit more mindful about where my money goes and don’t really want to spend a huge amount on something if theres a cheaper alternative that does the job. I started looking at online glasses sites and there are some surprisingly affordable options compared with what I was quoted in store. A few also have virtual try on tools which is handy because I’m always worried about ordering frames online and then finding outt they look completely different on me.
I’m still deciding whether to order online or just save up and go through an optician. I’m mainly wondering about the actual experience of buying glasses this way in the UK. things like quality, prescription accuracy, fit, delivery and whether the cheaper price is actually worth it in the long run.
For anyone who has ordered glasses or sunglasses online, how did it go? Were you happy with them and are there any things you’d recommend checking before placing an order?
