Finding the perfect pair of prescription glasses can be tough. I've been there, done that, and wasted money on glasses that didn't last. This is my journey from cheap, flimsy frames to a premium pair that are worth every penny.
My first purchase was super cheap. I thought I was being smart, saving money. I quickly learned that cheap often means poor quality. I found what I thought was a great prescription glasses shop near me, but their budget frames were awful.
The frames were flimsy plastic. They felt like they would break any minute. The lenses scratched easily. It lasted maybe a few weeks before I needed to replace them. The price was low, but the value was even lower.
This is what some people experienced with similar products:
I was constantly adjusting them. They slid down my nose. The screws came loose. It was a constant battle. A very frustrating experience.
Verdict: Avoid super cheap glasses. The initial savings aren't worth the hassle and frequent replacements.
I upgraded to something mid-range. I figured a little more money would get me better quality. I still wanted to find a good prescription glasses shop near me.
These frames were better. They were made of a sturdier plastic. The lenses were more scratch-resistant. But they weren't perfect. The fit wasn't great and the style was just okay.
The style was boring. They weren't ugly, but they weren't stylish either. I felt like I was wearing something generic. It was… okay.
