Naomi, Bristol

+ Light weight, modern design

- As the frames do not have rims, care should be taken storing them in case the lenses scratch

+ Great looking pair of glasses - very stylish with the "wow" factor

- Not quite as comfortable as my last pair of glasses as they are quite heavy so took some getting used to

Kirstie, Scottish Highlands

+ look fantastic!

- lenses still thick even though i chose super duper thin ones - this is probably my own too bad for being as blind as a bat though! I am trying to have an open mind but I am still nervous about these as my last 2 pairs of Benson and Ashleys were faulty.

+ nice pair of glasses - good colours, generally pleased with look although not as much as last pair.

- the nose rests broke within four days of receiving my glasses, one went on the third day, and the next on the fourth. luckily I've managed to fix them using parts from my old pair of glasses and a mini screw driver, but i expected more from a named brand. next time i'll be getting glasses direct own frames again.

Al, Leeds

+ The ordering service and delivery is very good. Pricing is very important.

- The finished product is not quite what I expected. The shape of the two lense fronts appeared to be perpendicular but when they arrived they are not.

matthew, cinderford , “Matt ”

+ great glasses at a superb price to what I used to pay for glasses....Great site and good idea about home trials..

- The left arm of my glasses has a bit of play in them, the arm does not line up like the other side to the frame it is slightly lower.. Nothing much really but a slight annoyance...

Clive, Putney, London

+ Glasses have a good, contemporary look. They are comfortable.

- One side arrived loose. I can wear them and I am sure a screwdriver is all that is required to tighten them up, but I was slightly disapointed as it means that they were not quality checked properly before being sent out.

Anonymous verified purchaser , “man”

+ Nicely styled and quite light with super-thin lenses. Good fit . Got more street cred than my old pair.

- Quality of finish not up to expected standard as there was a small area of unpainted frame that wasn't immediately noticable and a rather sharp end to one of the lens under fixings.

David, Manchester , “Lont term glasses wearer”

+ Very stylish and great value for money

- The Glasses are quite heavy (I think is a side effect of quality materials) and after a full days wear they can leave the nose bridge a little sensitive but not so bad that you dont want to wear them. this was the only thing that stopped me rating 10 out of 10
