Anonymous verified purchaser , “Slightly quirky but standard”

+ This is no exaggeration: The first night I wore these glasses out, I was invited to join a gentlemen's club, asked to play rugby for a local team, and I went home with a beautiful young lady who claimed, the next day, to have only talked to me because of my glasses. These glasses = WIN.

- I get a sweaty nose.

+ The price was incredible value.
Ease of purchasing spare glasses without having to take time off work - fantastic.
Very fast delivery - even with the post office strike.
Communication - very good.
I'm very pleased, and have already purchased another pair.

- The tortoishell colour was darker than I was expecting.
They are quite heavy - but i did choose the cheapest option of lenses. I would try the lightweight option next time.

+ They look great, they are sturdy, they are inexpensive. You get a case, a mirror and I like the eyeball sweet.

- The only problem for me is that the arms are just a bit short. I have no complaint about this whatsoever due to the price & service. I would like to be able to use the virual mirror on ALL glasses, and I would like to be able to try ALL before I buy. If I could try before I buy, I may go for the more expensive styles.

Lee, London

+ The fit of these big chunky glasses is perfect. I've never had a more comfortable pair.

- They glasses arrived slightly dusty and marked on the bridge. Like they'd been used before or tampered with. Also, you can hardly see my eyes. I'm not sure if i clicked the wrong option when ordering them but my eyes look distant in them, smaller and far away from the glasses. They don't make my eyes properly visible, just the reflection on the glass itself. I may have to return them due to this.
