This will be a long review, but I hope not TL, DR. I’m just so happy I’ve discovered Eyebuydirect.com. All the articles and advice about how to select frames, lenses, face shape, et al., were invaluable. The try-on feature is a godsend. Plus, my glasses were so inexpensive compared to what I’d always received at brick-and-mortar eyeglass stores, I bought a backup pair!
I need to mention this, because this turned out to be key: I’m part Asian, meaning I inherited a nonstandard facial bone structure. I only realized this year that I needed a low-bridge frame, something that I’d never before heard of. 32 years is a very long time to wear glasses that forever slide down one’s face no matter how much I tweaked the arms and nose pieces. None of the sales associates in the past 32 years had ever thought of recommending low-bridge frames for me despite my issues with having glasses stay in place on my face. But to be fair, maybe frame manufacturers hadn’t made such frames until recently. So, I had always thought I just didn’t have a face suited for glasses, yet I’m squeamish about putting contact lenses in my eyes, so I dealt with it.
Newly informed, I selected the features I wanted on Eyebuydirect.com. I fell in love with the Sisi. I’ve worn semi-rimless rectangles for years, but had always longed to try a cat-eye frame. I bought it in basic black, then decided the price was so reasonable and the frames so flattering, I went for it and bought the rose gold too. As another reviewer mentioned, the rose gold is a bit more gold than rose, but you can still see the rose in there.
My prescription is perfect. My frames are perfect. I only adjusted the frames once they arrived in the mail & never had to tweak them again! They are lightweight and *stay put on my face*, thank you, deity! I will buy from Eyebuydirect.com for the rest of my life, and will tell my glasses-wearing family and friends too. Having eyeglasses that fit just right is a *huge*
