Let's be honest—glasses can be incredibly expensive. I had been putting off getting a new pair for the longest time. My old ones were scratched, the prescription was no longer accurate, and frankly, they weren't very stylish. The idea of spending hundreds of dollars at a typical optometrist's office was out of the question for me.
I consider myself a savvy shopper. I firmly believe that clear vision shouldn't cost a fortune. My goal was straightforward: find the most budget-friendly option for prescription glasses without ending up with flimsy or unattractive frames. It was a real challenge.
My search required hours of digging online. I looked at all the usual places—major online retailers, discount stores, and even some smaller independent shops. I compared prices, sifted through countless reviews, and tried to understand the details of warranties and return policies. It was a tiring process!
That's when I came across Cinily Net. While browsing different styles, their 'category' section stood out due to the wide variety available. I hadn't heard of the brand before, so I was a bit doubtful. However, their prices were very attractive, and they offered some genuinely cute frames. I decided to investigate further.
I finally ordered the MERRYS DESIGN Women Retro Cat Eye Glasses Frame (S2701 C01 Black). I've always been fond of the cat-eye style, and these looked like a fun and fashionable choice. The ordering process was simple. I uploaded my prescription, selected my lens options (I chose basic anti-glare), and completed the purchase.
I'll admit, I was a little worried about the quality. These glasses were much cheaper than any others I had seen. But when they arrived, I was genuinely impressed.
Here's what I appreciated:
To be transparent, these don't have the feel of luxury designer frames. The plastic is somewhat lighter than what I've had before. But considering the price, the quality is very good. I took the time to inspect the frames carefully. I looked for:
Taking a few minutes for a close inspection helps determine if the glasses are well-made. I also verified that my pupillary distance (PD) matched the lens size.
