The hidden risks of buying glasses online ❗️
When it comes to your vision, precision matters. Purchasing spectacles or lenses from unauthorised or non-optical online stores may seem convenient, but the risks often outweigh the savings.
Here’s what online retailers can’t guarantee:
🔹 Accurate Prescriptions
Online glasses rarely match your exact measurements, like pupillary distance or lens centration, leading to blurred vision, headaches, and unnecessary eye strain.
🔹 Optical-Grade Lenses
Many unregulated sellers use low-quality materials without proper clarity, coatings, or true UV protection.
🔹 Professional Fitting
Only a qualified optometrist can align, adjust, and fit your lenses correctly for optimal comfort and performance.
🔹 Aftercare & Warranty
Luxury eyewear should come with expert servicing, adjustments, and peace of mind, not uncertainty.
Protect your eyes, and your investment. Choose precision, not risk.
