Cheap frames can look nice at first but bend easily or become loose after a few weeks. Personally I like a mix of design, comfort and realistic pricing. Bad lenses can cause eye strain, reflections and headache when you wear them for hours. Sometimes I experiment with different materials just to see how they feel in daily life.
If anyone is interested in real user experiences, I sometimes write short notes about the shops I test.

I think this is one of the few real advantages we have compared to shopping blindly. Many times I avoided a bad purchase just by reading a few careful comments. Sometimes a store looks great in ads but the real product is completely different. Now I am more careful with impulse buys and limited time offers. Over the last months I noticed that some of my favorite items are not the most expensive ones. A good store usually answers questions quickly and does not hide behind canned messages.
Hope this helps someone. |
