For 60 years I have a hard time finding very petite metal frames to fit (plastic fall down my nose and overwhelm my face). Because of insurance changes to Medicare, I was without an optometrist willing to order ‘try-ons’ for me. (I get progressives, progressive transition, and computer).
I went to various offices around town as well as Costco many times checking out their inventory of too big frames.
I googled for months looking at online inventories, but was unwilling to order anything I hadn’t tried on, or pay return shipping or restocking fees.
I finally found a great helpful optometrist office that had a lot of petites and worked with me. They had a pair I had been eyeing online…that were $275 (markup). I bit the bullet, bought them and took them to Costco for computer glasses. (I have a very complicated RX so online ordering is out of the question). I was so pleased with the frames and I can finally see again.
So, what did I get from DesignerOptics?
The same frame in a different color for Transitions. (other online sellers didn’t have this particular one). These fames were almost $100 less. Were they the same or knockoffs??? I laid them side by side and examined every part and they look identical except for color. The logo case, cleaning cloth, lens template, paperwork and well packaged.
One wonderful note….I was concerned about shipping time, (and possible returns). The shipping was only a few days. East coast to west coast. Far faster than quoted. I was even sent updates and a tracking number!
At least in my case, buying frames online is very scary but I feel good about this big step I made. I just wish it was easier to get tyros without the huge fees.
Love the color and fit of these glasses as well as the good price. I have a small face and it’s always a challenge to find glasses to fit
Everyone is complementing me with these awesome glasses. It’s my second pair.
This is my second pair love them
All the metal parts are a little thinner, not as smoothly formed, more brownish rather than gunmetal gray, nosepads smaller.
They are great but it took my eye longer than usual to get used to them
Great lightweight durable and stylish. This was about my 5th pair and I only replace them because my prescription changes
I love these Tiffany’s sunglasses. They are very bold and beautiful.
Excellent company to deal with and best prices around! Fast shipping and glasses are awesome! Thanks!
great kids sunglasses at a fair price. Bausch and lome used to come with a hard case, wish they still did, especially since they are kids. cloth carry case isn't the same
I love the Catherine Costa. They fit great & very stylish too.
I received them quickly and love them, however after wearing them for an hour or so, I realized there were some imperfections on the lenses. I had sent them back with a claim and I’m waiting for a response. Hopefully I can get the lenses replaced and returned soon.
