Is there really any important difference betwn designer and regular cheap glasses?

December 2nd, 2009 | by admin |

So I’m getting glasses soon and I’m only gonna be needing them to drive and for school. I’m near-sighted.

Should I care what glasses I get? Besides having the "designer" logos on them, what are the differences in terms of quality and stuff. I never wore glasses before so yeah but I know that d&g, prada, chanel, and like those are from $200 and up.

The frames of more expensive glasses are constructed better and should last longer than cheaper frames. But, as long as you choose carefully with the criteria being sturdy construction, you should be able to find something where you don’t have to be advertising someone else’s brand.

Always remember to use both hands when taking your glasses off. Pulling them off in a hurry with only one hand bends them out of shape.

There are so many fun choices of frames now that glasses have almost become a fashion accessory. Some celebrities years ago wore glasses with clear lenses just for the look.

    Somewhere in between is best. With designer glasses a lot of your money is being spent on the label and not on quality. With cheap glasses you usually get what you paid for. If it’s too cheap they had to cut corners. The lenses may not be first quality and have defects, and the frames may be skimpy and not hold up.

    Absolutely. Wholesale prices are often even greater in difference than retail prices. Wholesale prices on frames range from $1 to over $100. Differences include the qualities of the base metals and the finishes. These have a dramatic effect on how your glasses look and stay in adjustment. For some reason higher quality frames are more comfortable as well. Is there any way you could wear any products from the above designers every day for the next year for $200? There are some high quality frames that do not bear designer names. They are probably a better value than the designer frames. Some of these brands are Tura, Neostyle, Safilo and Marchon. Let your frame stylist know what you are trying to do.
