Dean, Airdrie , “A regular customer.”

Score 9.0/10

+ The glasses are very comfortable to wear being very light, they are an ideal shape for all faces. They are both stylish and sleek while being a good pair of glasses for all occassions, sensible times and fun times alike.

- Although flexible I feel they are slightly fragile compared to rigid glasses, I know this is part of the design and helps give them that light feeling but I don't feel it would be wise to go out of your way to demonstrate their flexibility. Also I think the outer bottom corner of the lens out be slightly rounder they seem to taper outwards rather than looking symetrical with the inner side.

- For me they are possibly slightly too small (lens height) for bifocals. It is taking me some time to get used to them compared to my previously slightly larger lens height.

+ I have astigmatisim and was anxious about buying the glasses without trying them on however when they arrived they were a really good fit even with my narrow face. I was concerned that the cheap option of not having the lense thickness reduced would leave me looking pretty special however they are absolutly fine. The glasses i have are no different than designer pairs that i have had in the past and are at a third of the price. The glasses arrived in good time and to date i have had no problems. All in all i'm stoked. My wife also got the Madrid pair which are pretty secretary looking (if you know what i mean). Like me she is vain. She is loving wearing glasses for the first time and can't stop blue stealing.
