Classic Specs is here to bust myths about buying eyeglasses online. Although brick-and-mortar stores have unique benefits and disadvantages compared to online retailers, both options are great ways to purchase eyeglasses or sunglasses, including prescriptions. Below are some of the most commonly discussed myths regarding buying glasses online.
Myth #1 – It is more expensive
The reality is that most online retailers like Classic Specs sell their eyeglasses and sunglasses at a lower price compared to the cost of designer glasses purchased at a department store. Online retailers have changed the game by operating their businesses more efficiently and passing the savings to the consumer. Potential customers note this when comparing shopping and often find that online eyeglasses retailers will sell similar quality glasses at a fraction of the cost. Just check out our collection of cheap glasses to see for yourself.
Myth #2 – Prescription glasses can’t be made from an online store
With an up-to-date prescription, purchasing glasses online is often the best way to obtain them rather than going to a local optician. Classic Specs allows customers to upload their vision prescriptions directly to the website as they complete their orders. Many opticians must send lenses for the final step in the process, causing delays. At Classic Specs, the prescription glasses are guaranteed to work as intended.
Myth #3 – Glasses purchased online are lower quality
Classic Specs offers eyeglasses and sunglasses that are on the same level as some of the top-name brands in the world in terms of build quality and materials. The glasses are composed of premium Italian acetate and have features like stainless steel hinges, UVA/UVB protective scratch-resistant lenses, anti-glare coatings, and more. Similar materials are used for the top-end designer frames that cost hundreds of dollars more than most eyeglasses available at Classic Specs.
Myth #4 – It takes longer to purchase eyeglasses online
The reality is that purchasing glasses at a brick-and-mortar store is often a longer process. The issue is having to travel to and from the store, meet with an optician, browse through all available options, and try them on. Many enhanced prescriptions, like progressive lenses or other types, can take 7-14 days to make. Prescription glasses ordered online can be made and shipped more quickly. Purchasing eyeglasses online is also faster, as it takes minutes to order.
