I once bought into all the common misconceptions about shopping for women's non-prescription glasses online. I assumed every pair was essentially the same and that price was the only real difference. Let me set the record straight. Purchasing eyewear online can be a fantastic experience, but only when you know exactly what to look for.
Myth: Every pair of inexpensive women's non-prescription glasses you find online is of equally low quality. The retailer doesn't make a difference.
You might hear someone say, "They were so cheap, I didn't expect much anyway." That's precisely the wrong approach. Quality should always be a priority, even when you're on a budget.
Truth: Quality absolutely matters. You want glasses that are durable, comfortable, and look good. Take Cinily Net, for example, which offers styles like their Cat Eye Glasses Frames with clear lenses. Customers have noted they are "very high quality and exactly what I ordered."
Verdict: Don't just chase the lowest price. Prioritize positive customer reviews and quality materials.
Myth: It's impossible to know if glasses will suit your face unless you try them on in a physical store.
Many shoppers worry, "They probably won't fit my face shape," which is a common concern with online purchases.
Truth: While trying glasses on in person is ideal, most reputable websites provide detailed frame measurements. Pay attention to the frame width, lens height, and bridge width. Compare these numbers to a pair you already own that fits well. Many sites also offer virtual try-on tools using your photo. Always review the size guide before you order.
Verdict: Scrutinize the measurements. Take advantage of virtual try-on features when they're available.
Myth: If you order glasses online, you'll be waiting weeks for delivery.
Some people do complain about slow shipping, but this isn't a universal experience.
Truth: Numerous online retailers offer surprisingly fast shipping. One Cinily Net customer even reported, "Fast shipping—they arrived faster than a pair I ordered from a local store." Shipping times do vary, so always check the estimated delivery date before purchasing. Look for expedited shipping options if you need your glasses quickly.
