Happy with my purchase

I paid around half of what I was quoted locally. The order process was easy and helped me ensure a good fit - especially the try on feature. My specs arrived in only a few days and the lenses are spot on prescription-wise. The frame quality is good, not luxurious but perfectly functional. I recommend SmartBuyGlasses to anyone looking for affordable quality
